can be obtained easily through routine creel surveys. Our reconceptualization
of OY is intended to shrift the content and focus of recreational fishery
management plans toward evaluating and promoting diverse sociocultural
benefits to anglers and communities.

We study the effects on fisherman decision processes of periodic (e.g.,
weekly) individual quotas. In the model, the fisherman must choose at the
start of each week on which of two grounds to fish. The catch per week on
each ground is a random variable and the fisherman does not know with
certainty the parameters of the distribution of that variable. He does have
estimates on each parameter and can improve these estimates by Bayesian
updating. The choice of a fishing ground takes into account the expected
catch on that ground and the expected improvement in information from fishing
on that ground. Our study is concerned with the effect of weekly quotas on
the joint production of information and fish. Various policy implications are
discussed, and the results are compared with the policy analysis of Clark
(1980) in the deterministic case. We know that the quota affects the value of
information and that if quotas are transferable, then the quota may limit its
own value.

An age and growth study of king mackerel in the Gulf of Mexico from Key
West to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico from 1980 through 1985. Von Bertalanffy
growth equations are estimated for male, female, and both sexes combined. Age
at recruitment to commercial and recreational fisheries off various states is
reported. Total instantaneous mortality estimates are given that show that
female rates are lower than rates for males.
Manski, Charles F. and Daniel McFadden (eds.) (1981). Structural
Analysis of Discrete Data with Econometric Applications. The MIT
Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This volume deals with parametric statistical inference on structural
conditional probability models in which some or all of the endogenous
variables are discrete valued. Taken together, these chapters provide a
methodological foundation for the analysis of economic problems involving
discrete data and chart the current frontiers of this subject.

This article exposits the achievements and concerns of the rich modern
literature on the estimation of regressions. to keep the discussion within
bounds, I restrict attention to the case in which y is scaler and focus on
those regressions that provide best predictors of y conditional on x. This
class of regressions is easily described and covers the majority of
