to Resources in the Fish Harvesting Industry, Limited Entry and/or
Other Alternatives." Background Paper for the Conference,

The central issue is how are decisions affecting capitalization in the
fish harvesting industry made, and how can they be influenced to avoid
overcapitalization.

Bakun, Andrew (1990). "Global Climate Change and Intensification of
Coastal Ocean Upwelling." Science, 247:198-201.
A mechanism exists whereby global greenhouse warming could, by
intensifying the alongshore wind stress on the ocean surface, lead to
acceleration of coastal upwelling. Evidence from several different regions
suggest that the major coastal upwelling systems of the world have been
growing in upwelling intensity as greenhouse gases have accumulated in the
earth's atmosphere. Thus the cool foggy summer conditions that typify the
coastlands of northern California and other similar upwelling region might,
under global warming, become even more pronounced. Effects of enhanced
upwelling on the marine ecosystem are uncertain but potential dramatic.

Simulation Model of the Walleye Pollock Fishery in the Gulf of
Alaska." NOAA Technical Memorandum NMFS F/NWC-145, U.S.
Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service.
A bioeconomic simulation model was used to evaluate the effect of
alternative harvesting strategies on the biological status and profit
potential of the walleye pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) fishery in the Gulf
of Alaska. The simulation model, which projects future stock condition given
likely catch and recruitment scenarios, integrates an age structured
population dynamics submodel with an economic submodel. The biological
submodel describes temporal partitioning of the annual harvest between a
January through April roe fishery that targets on prespawning aggregations in
Shelikof Strait and the fishery that occurs during the rest of the year in the
central and western gulf. The economic submodel includes cost and revenue
functions for the harvesting sector. Results of the simulations indicate
that: 1) the timing of the harvest can be an important factor affecting stock
condition when quotas are high and 2) a reduction in the quota for 1987, to
protect the strong 1984 year class that was first available to the fishery in
1987, would reduce the discounted present value of profits from the fishery in
the 20 year simulation.

Framework." American Journal of Agricultural Economics, &0(4):
813-825.
The paper models multiproduct supply response in agriculture and tests
key assumptions traditionally maintained in supply response studies. The
technology is approximated by a restricted profit function. The properties of
the restricted profit function are imposed during estimation. The hypothesis
