This management plan addresses the problems and potentials of
Louisiana's penaeid shrimp fishery. The plan was developed by a project
jointly funded by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Louisiana State University
(LSU), and the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. LSU experts
including a biologist, an economist, and an attorney provided the scientific
information necessary to evaluate the management options suggested by the
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The early development of the plan was
guided by the goal of maximizing the economic benefits of the fishery to
Louisiana and the region. Subsequent review of the draft plan by the
Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission's Shrimp Management Committee
resulted in refining the set of feasible management actions and a elaboration
of the management goals. After review by the committee, public comment was
solicited. The final product of this process is a set of proposed actions to
be addressed by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission and the
Louisiana Legislature in the future management of the fishery.

This report is an information summary of important developments in South
Carolina's marine fisheries since 1977. Economic consideration has been
confined to trends in landed value.

Three surveys of marine recreational fishermen were conducted during
June 1985 - June 1986. These were: 1) a coastal tackle shop questionnaire
survey (June-December 1985), 2) a public launching ramp creel census (June
1985 - May 1986), and 3) a public launching ramp drop-box survey (November
1985 - 1986). Results from the tackle shop questionnaire provided information
on fishing modes and activities, boat and access site utilization, reactions
to licensing of marine recreational fishermen, and constituency perceptions of
problems associated with marine sport fishing. Results from the on-site
surveys furnished data on species preference, catch, catch rates (CPUE),
length composition of red drum and spotted seatrout catches, and site
utilization.

Three feasible interpretations of cross sectional hedonic price
regression equations are derived from consumer choice, profit maximization by
competitive firms, and market clearing, each conceptual experiment deploying a
Lancastrian "new approach" to micro theory. Lancaster's theory is compared
with those consumer theories of Houthakker heritage, and some limitations of
each are indicated. The assertion that Adelman and Griliches' quality
