for the "eel skin" leather market. From 1988 through 1989, I sampled 924
Pacific hagfish and 897 black hagfish from commercial and research catches.
Mean length of fish sampled from commercial landings was 39.6 cm for Pacific
hagfish and 34.5 cm for black hagfish. Weight-length relationships (W=Al b )
were calculated for males and females of both species. Fifty percent maturity
for male and female Pacific hagfish was 35 cm and 38 cm, respectively.
Examination of gonads for both species indicated that spawning either occurs
throughout the year or the spawning period is protracted. Mature females of
both species had from one to three distinct sizes of eggs, but they usually
carried only one group of eggs over 5 mm in length. Mature Pacific hagfish
females averages 28 eggs over 5 mm in length, and black hagfish females
averaged 14 eggs over 5 mm in length. Hermaphroditism was found in 0.2% of
the Pacific hagfish examined.

Almost Additive Preferences." Econometrica, 32(1-2):1-38.
This paper addresses the gap between the theory of consumer demand and
empirical demand research. The theory of consumer demand is reformulated
along the lines set out in the articles by Frisch and Houthakker. However,
their specialization to direct (or indirect) additivity of the utility
function may be considered too severe a restriction for the level of
aggregation of the data that are available in this case. A modification of
direct additivity has therefore been introduced to take account of specific
interaction between the different types of consumers' expenditure. The theory
and the resulting restrictions on the elasticities to be estimated are
discussed in section 2. The data used for the estimation are a set of time
series describing total consumer expenditure in the Netherlands on fourteen
types of commodities or services and the corresponding price indices covering
the periods 1921-1939 and 1948-1958.

Application of an Inverse Demand System." European Economic
Review, 33:1509-1525.
Inverse demand systems explain price variations as functions of quantity
variations. They have properties analogous to those of regular demand
systems. There are very few examples of their empirical application. In part
this is due to lack of data for which price is the decision variable and the
quantity given. The case of fish landed at Belgian sea ports appears to suit
an inverse demand system well. A Rotterdam variant of such a system is
estimated. Allais interaction intensities have been derived and show a
reasonable pattern.
