An alternative approach to a generalized linear model is used to
estimate bycatch levels for king and Spanish Mackerel in the shrimp fishery.
The delta method treats values as a two part process, the probability of
encountering a positive value and the expected value given that a positive
value is encountered. Estimating each part separately and multiplying the
results within each strata produces an alternative estimate of CPUE and thus
annual bycatch.

Great Lakes Fishery. Draft report. Habitat Conservation Office,

Maryland.
Although data on Great Lake fish stocks and values are uncertain
estimates, reasonable approximations can be made concerning economic losses
for the United states from various types of management practices. Based on
biometric changes that are projected to occur, it appears that early control
of a nonindigenous fish species, specifically ruffe (Gymnocephalus cernuus),
can result in significant investment returns. By instituting a ruffe control
program, benefits to the public will exceed costs by 44 to 1 over the next
five decades. Under a moderate case projection of benefits this will yield an
estimated net public savings of $513 million for the United states. Since
sportfishing values are much greater than commercial fishing values, anglers
will benefit the most from this program.
Leman, Christopher K. and Robert H. Nelson (19??). "Ten Commandments
for Policy Economists."
The incorporation of economic approaches into policy making requires
special skills on the part of the economist. This article examines the use of
economics in government as illustrated by the experience of the natural
resources agencies. It presents ten guiding rules for the practicing policy
economist: (1) be economical about the use of economics; (2) discount for
political demand; (3) dare to be "quick-and-dirty", (4) think like a manager;
(5) analyze equity as well as efficiency; (6) know your market; (7) pay your
