and it amy be possible to use a synthesis of the models to facilitate

McGaw, Richard L. (1981). "The Supply of Effort in a Fishery." Applied
Economics, 13:245-253.
The empirical literature on fisheries economics has largely ignored the
concept of supply, concentrating instead on the specification of production
functions. While it has been recognized that overexploitation of a fishery is
an economic problem, the supply behavior of the industry has not been
seriously examined. It is intended here to develop a model where effort, the
index of inputs used in most production models, is determined endogenously
rather than assumed to be exogenous. The consequence of this is that landings
will be determined by economic rather than purely physical factors.
McGillivray, Robert G. (1970). "Demand and Choice Models of Modal
Split." Journal of Transport Economics and Policy, May:192-207.
A review of the existing literature on travel by mode and an empirical
analysis of San Francisco Bay area. Of interest is the appendix that derives
both a utility interpretation of a binary choice model of the decision whether
or not to take a trip and a demand interpretation of the estimated function.

This report evaluates four major pathogenic shrimp viruses: Infectious
Hypodermal and Hematopoietic Necrosis Virus (IHHNV), Taura Syndrome Virus
(TSV), White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV), and Yellow head Virus (YHV). In
response to their findings the shrimp virus work group recommends that an
ecological risk assessment be conducted.
McInerney, John (1976). "The Simple Analytics of Natural Resource
Economics." Journal of Agricultural Economics, 27(1):31-52.
An attempt is made in this paper to identify the prime issues in natural
resource economics and analyze them within a framework of simple economic
principles. A socially optimal resource utilization policy is seen as
basically a matter of the intertemporal allocation of resource stocks, and the
appropriate analytical procedures for determining this are explored in the
context of a proposed four way classification of natural resources. The
renewable resource discussion contains an error corrected in a note by
McInerney (1978).
