for the upcoming fishing season; 3) the industry leaders worked very hard with
their associations to convince fishers that their fishery was in peril and
that close cooperation with DFO was the key for the future; 4) the industry
and DFO worked as partners to develop a management approach based upon
scientific advice to climb out of the trough. The paper also outlines the
conundrum that fisheries managers currently face resulting from a combination
of a moratorium of the entire Gulf of St. Lawrence groundfishery, the
consequent pressure from displaced groundfish fishermen to enter the lucrative
snow crab fishery and an optimistic short term but pessimistic longer term
forecast regarding snow crab abundance; do we redistribute the wealth; if so
among whom, how, and for how long?

Publicly owned natural resources under certain management regimes can
generate rents that could be captured by taxes or user fees for the resource.
Under an ITQ program, those who are initially allocated the ITQ receive a
windfall when they sell their market shares. Those who enter the fishery by
buying shares receive a windfall when they sell out equivalent to the
difference between their purchase price and their selling price (a capital
gain in equity). The royalty payments under this example are based upon the
generation of rents.
Long, Ngo Van (1975). "Resource Extraction under the Uncertainty about
Possible Nationalization." Journal of Economic Theory, 10:42-53.
This paper looks at the problem of resource exploitations under
anticipated nationalization. A model where the probability of nationalization
is a function of time is evaluated for (i) no nationalization, (ii)
nationalization at a known date, and (iii) no nationalization, but with a
rising trend of effective profit tax rate.

Ecological Relationships and Methods for Determination of Needs. Texas
Water Development Board and Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Austin,
TX, 386 pp.
This document reports the effects of freshwater inflows on the
biological productivity of bays and estuaries, and effects on the distribution
and abundance of economically important and ecologically characteristic fish
and shellfish species, and the estuarine life on which they depend. The
reports two main themes are demonstrating the effects of freshwater inflows on
living and nonliving components of estuarine ecosystems and presenting a
methodology for assessing the freshwater inflow needs of Texas bays and
estuaries that satisfies the requirement of maintaining an ecologically sound
environment and the productivity of fish, shellfish, and other estuarine life.

on Recreational and Commercial Salmon and Steelhead Fishing: A
Case Study of the Siuslaw National Forest." Marine Resource
Economics, 5:43-60.
The economic effects of changes in timber harvest levels on recreational
and commercial salmon and steelhead fisheries are estimated by combining a
series of simple watershed, habitat, population, and economic models. The
economic loss in fishery benefits from future timber harvests on 86,700 acres
