This study attempts to identify plausible empirical relationships that
may be used to build predictive models of how climatic variability can cause
changes in certain population parameters, such as growth and mortality,
fecundity, post larval recruitment, age at maturity, etc. Although
statistical tests for the effects of various interventions that take climatic
fluctuations into account are suggested, it is still not possible to
distinguish between efects due to brine disposal and those due to the Texas
closure since both were initiated in 1981. The suggested test procedure can
be used to determine if the combined effects of the Texas closure and brine
disposal are statistically significant once variations in landings due to
climatic fluctuations have been taken into account.

the Threat of Entry: A Two-Stage Linear Game." Journal of
Environmental Economics and Management, 16:121-133.
In this paper, we analyze harvesting policies for a producer who is
guaranteed exclusive harvesting rights to a renewable resource for a specified
period of time. A second producer may enter the market after these rights
have expired and if entry occurs, the duopoly stage is modeled as a
noncooperative differential game. We assume that the price and average costs
are constant and that the harvest rate is linearly dependent upon the stock
level and the effort expanded. After the solution to the duopoly game is
presented, we give the solution to the two stage profit maximization problem
of the incumbent. A modified most rapid approach path solution is shown to be
optimal under certain conditions.

Capacity. Technical Working Group on the Management of Fishing
Capacity, FAO, La Jolla CA, April 15-18, 4 pp.
Comments on a list of issues dealing with the management, control, or
reduction of fishing capacity. Examples of how these issues directly relate
to the management of capacity that have been resolved in the context of a
country or a fishery and a list of selected issues that should receive
attention at the regional or international level.
Salvanes, Kjell G. and Don J. DeVoretz (1993). "Household Demand for
Fish and Meat Products: Separability and Demographic Effects."
Presented at the International Conference on Fisheries Economics,
Os, Norway, May 26-28.
This paper focuses on the specification of the canadian household's
demand for fish and meat products. In contrast to the demand literature, this
paper directly tests for separability and relevant substitutes by estimating
different demand systems over different aggregation levels for fish and meat
with an identical retail level household data set. Knowledge of substitute
products obtained from separability tests will reveal the potential for
product differentiation. The results indicate that all Canadian fish products
and species as categorized in this study cannot be modeled separately. In
sum, analyzing the structure of meat or fish consumption at a relatively
aggregate level is correct based on these results. However, different species
of fish and other seafood or different product forms of fish cannot be
