Raizin, Myles and Lloyd Regier (1986). "Impact of U.S. Wholesale Demand
for Canned Sardines on Market Accessibility of Potential Gulf of
Mexico Products." Marine Fisheries Review, 48(1):32-36.
Significant resources of small fish that are potentially marketable in
the form of canned sardines are available from Gulf of Mexico waters. To
determine the potential for entry into the established U.S. canned sardine
market, three product groups that comprise the market are analyzed at the
wholesale level to determine their demand characteristics. Results indicate
that opportunities for entry exist, especially for products that are similar
to imports in terms of package and quality.

Japanese Kamaboko Industry." Marine Fisheries Review, 48(4):60-
64.
The newest and most promising seafood technology impacting U.S. markets
in recent years is an ancient Japanese fish paste process that yields a final
product called kamaboko, a fish protein gel that is flavored and formed to
suit the tastes and preferences of consumers. Many varieties of kamaboko have
been developed for the Japanese market and since 1976 several forms of
kamaboko have been exported from Japan to the United States including: A
lobster tail analog, scallop analog, shrimp analog, and crab analog. In this
paper we discuss various economic aspects of trade, marketing, and production
that affect the kamaboko industry of Japan and impact the U.S. market for
Japanese kamaboko.

Randall, Alan (1994). "A Difficulty with the Travel Cost Method." Land
Economics, 70(1): 88-96.
Instead of observable prices of recreational visits, travel cost method
(TCM) researchers are obliged to substitute researcher assigned visitation
cost estimates. I argue that visitation costs are inherently subjective, but
are ordinally measurable so long as the cost increases with distance traveled.
It follows that traditional TCM yields only ordinally measurable welfare
estimates. The household production function formulation of TCM resolves
this problem only by imposing severe and untestable analytical restrictions.
TCM cannot serve as a stand-alone technique for estimating recreation
benefits; rather it must be calibrated using information generated with
fundamentally different methods.
