This report outlines some techniques employed in assigning economic
value to wetlands and discusses the application of economic valuation of
natural resources and some of the problems associated with the process.

Moloney, David G. and Peter H. Pearse (1979). "Quantitative Rights as
an Instrument for Regulating Commercial Fisheries." J. Fish. Res.
Board Can., 36:859-866.
A method of regulating commercial fisheries by providing fishing
enterprise with transferable rights to harvest specific quantities of fish is
described and analyzed in terms of its incentives for economic efficiency in
harvesting, its administrative practicability, and its amenability to
alternative objectives with respect to the division of resource rents between
fishermen and the government. The regime proposed can, under certain
realistic conditions, be expected to maximize resource rents and to permit the
gains to be distributed flexibly. This approach is found to have certain
superior characteristics over the main alternative proposals for rationalizing
fishing.

Additive Treatment of Shrimp." Draft Chapter III.
The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficiency of a
relatively small, portable, shrimp processing machine and the effect of
selected food grade additives on the quality of shrimp.

Quota Management System. In Karyn L. Gimbel (ed.) Limiting Access to
Marine Fisheries: Keeping the Focus on Conservation, Center for Marine
Conservation and the World Wildlife Fund, Washington, D.C.
New Zealand s quota management system (QMS) is designed to limit access
to fisheries through the establishment of private property rights in the form
of ITQs and also to conserve fish stocks through biologically determined TACs
that are set for each fishery within defined Quota Management Areas. By
limiting access to fisheries, the QMS attempts to address the problem of open
access to common property fishery resources, which have traditionally led to a
destructive race for fish.
The QMS system has a number of shortcomings. The system focuses
primarily on single species management and largely fails to address broader
