This paper proposes an interdisciplinary approach to fisheries
management and fisheries science as a solution to the problems currently
facing fisheries managers.

Fishery, Gulf of Paria, Trinidad." Masters Thesis, Department of
Fisheries, Aquaculture, and Pathology, University of Rhode Island,
Narragansette, Rhode Island.
Annual ratio estimates were 9:1 finfish to shrimp and 14.7:1 bycatch to
shrimp, with the highest ratios observed during August to December and the
lowest during late January to May, the dry season. Extrapolation of ratios,
using shrimp catch statistics indicate that for 1986, 974,000 kg finfish and
620,000 kg crabs (Callinectes spp.) were caught incidentally by artisanal
shrimp trawlers fishing in the Gulf of Paria. Of this total incidental catch
(1,594,000 kg), approximately 1,500,400 kg were discarded (94%).

in New England and an Economic Analysis of Farming Adult Atlantic
Salmon for a Sport Fishery." Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of
Natural Resource Economics, University of Rhode Island, Kingston,
Rhode Island.
This study focuses on estimating demand for Atlantic salmon sport
fishing in New England. Sport fishing demand is modeled as a function of
attributes of salmon fishing opportunities, and characteristics of salmon
anglers. Models with level of interest variables and motives for fishing give
better out of sample predictions than models with demographics and models with
site attributes. Providing a number of assumptions hold, optimization results
indicate that it would be economically viable to rear adult Atlantic salmon
for a sport fishery..

Recreational Fishing in the United States; Case Studies: Striped
Bass and Bluefin Tuna." American Sportfishing Association, 1033
North Fairfax Street, Suite 200, Alexandria, Va.
This report summarizes the economic benefits of marine recreational
fishing in the United States, and presents two case studies on fisheries that
are important to both the commercial and the recreational fishing sectors.
The first case study analyzes a success story, the restoration of striped bass
along the Atlantic Coast. The second case study describes a newly developed
winter bluefin tuna sport fishery in North Carolina that contributes more than
$3.5 million to the local economy, and holds even greater economic potential
if the fishery is properly managed.
