Southeast Alaska Salmon Drift Gill Net Fishery, 1980-1982." CFEC
Report Number 84-9, commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, Pouch
KB, Juneau, Alaska 99811, April, pp. 17.
This report summarizes the results of CFEC research into the net returns
of Southeast Alaska salmon drift gill net fishermen in 1980, 1981, and 1982.
A brief description of the CFEC financial model for this fishery is provided
as well as various outputs of that model. Results summarized include
estimates of average fleet operating costs for each year and estimates of
average net operating income and average returns to labor for the fleet and
for various parts of it.

Salmon Drift Gill Net Fishery in 1982." Document Number CFEC 85-
4, Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, Pouch KB, Juneau, Alaska
99811.
This report describes a model designed to produce estimates of Cook
Inlet salmon drift gillnetters' net operating incomes and returns to labor and
management. In 1982, a good year in this fishery, mean returns to labor and
management for owner operators, assuming a 10% opportunity cost of capital,
were about $8,801.

Juneau, Alaska 99801, June.
In the last four years New Zealand has started an ambitious program of
individual fisherman's quotas in its commercial fisheries. This paper
describes the provisions of the program, its evolution, and its impacts on the
New Zealand fisheries through June, 1988.
Muse, Ben and Kurt Schelle (1989). "Individual Fisherman's Quotas: A
Preliminary Review of Some Recent Programs." CFEC 89-1, Alaska
Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission.
Individual fisherman's quota programs are relatively new approaches to
fisheries management that appear to offer an attractive way to manage some
fisheries. In an individual quota program each quota holder is given the
right to harvest a portion of the total allowable catch in a fishery. This
paper briefly describes twelve individual quota programs which have recently
been implemented in Atlantic Canada, Ontario, Iceland, New Zealand, Australia,
and the United States. Topics discussed include the initial allocation of
shares, the nature of the bundle of rights contained in the shares,
enforcement, and the apparent impacts of each program.

Management Plan for Sharks of the Atlantic Ocean. School of Marine
Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science, College of William and
Mary, Gloucester Point, Virginia, June 7, 12 pp.
Several problems exist with the current Fisheries Management Plan for
sharks and proposed changes in the FMP for 1995. Many of these problems were
recognized by the Shark Panel of Experts that was convened at the NMFS
Workshop in Miami in March 1994. Unfortunately, some important comments were
omitted, and more importantly, dissenting conclusions and recommendations were
