Despite the uncertainties in the data, the analysis of Nichols et al.
(1987) attached, and herein indicate there is potential for increased fishery
production of red snappers and mackerels by reduction of bycatch. It appears
that the potential is largest for red snapper, where reduction in bycatch
might increase yield by as much as 90 percent. The potential for percentage
increase in Spanish mackerel yield in reducing bycatch is less than that for
red snapper; the potential is even less for king mackerel.

The annual report presents major findings from studies conducted with
MARFIN funds and presents a summary of the analyses presented at the annual
conference. Bycatch, reef fish, and coastal and oceanic pelagic fish research
is highlighted. The report also contains a summary of fiscal year 1994
projects and an annotated bibliography of completed research.
Prochaska, F.J. (1978). "Prices, Marketing Margins, and Structural
Change in the King Mackerel Marketing System." Southern Journal
of Agricultural Economics,July, pp.105-109.
This article determines the functional relationship between the
marketing margin and market prices, volume marketed, change in market
structure, and the cost of marketing services for King mackerel in Florida. A
price dependent, single equation demand model based on monthly data is
estimated and used to derive a marketing margin equation. All the usual
problems of simultaneity are evident in the analysis of mackerel price.
Prochaska, F.J. (1978). "Theoretical and Empirical Considerations for
Estimating Capacity and Capacity Utilization in Commercial
Fisheries." American Journal of Agricultural Economics,
60(5):1020-1025.
The purpose of this paper is to address the question of capacity with
particular reference to the development of fishery management plans. The
discussion is divided into three parts. First, the theoretical construct of
capacity will be examined. The second part is a discussion of methodological
problems in empirical measurement. The final section contains a review of
measures of capacity used in a sample of fishery management plans.
Prochaska, F.J. (1984). "Principle Types of Uncertainty in Seafood
Processing and Marketing." Marine Resource Economics, 1(1):51-66.
Uncertainty in the processing and marketing sector arise in the sales of
final products, the procurement of seafood supplies, and the operation of the
marketing firm or processing plant. Major uncertainties in marketing and
processing seafoods are associate with inferior market price and quantity
data, time delays between procurement of raw product and sales of final
products, breakdown in market signals between market levels, product image
changes, and export sales. Major supply related uncertainties are associated
with variations in environmental and biological factors, factors determining
type and quantity of fishing effort, government regulations, and foreign
supply factors. Uncertainties internal to the operation of processing and
marketing firms are encountered through storage-related activities, new
