the report s conclusions are that seafood demand continues to rise in the face
of rising prices, and that the highly concentrated U.S. cod market is shifting
over to the more available and cheaper pollock. While existing models need
some revisions to accurately reflect developments since 1988, they provide
useful guidance about the responsiveness of the U.S. market to changes in
prices and supply levels of some species and product forms.

"Allocatable Fixed Inputs and Jointness in Agricultural
Production: Implications for Economic Modeling." American Journal
of Agricultural Economics, 66(1):72-78.
Allocatable fixed inputs, such as land, are a potentially important
source of jointness in agriculture. As with other causes of jointness, they
necessitate multiple product systems for modeling product supply and input
demand. In other important ways, however, their analytical implications are
very different from other causes of jointness. Model specification differs.
Demand functions for the quantities of each input used in the production of
individual commodities can be derived if a primal approach is used, but such
allocation equations cannot in general be identified from a dual
specification. Available allocation data are not even useful in such dual
estimations.

"Preliminary Studies of Selected Environmental and Nutritional
Requirements for the Culture of Penaeid Shrimp." Fisheries
Bulletin, 70(1):101-109.
Establishing selected preliminary environmental and nutritional
requirements for penaeid shrimp resulted in the successful and reproducible
production of major biomass increases with relatively high survival rates and
low food conversion ratios.

Trade Strategies in World Fisheries." Marine Fisheries Review,
51(1):1-2.
Introduces the special section of the Marine Fisheries Review that
presents papers dealing with world trade issues. The aim of the section was
to provide an overview of several international trade issues that affect the
development of fisheries economic policy. The general areas of discussion
include the role of fisheries in the U.S. balance of trade, current
negotiations on fisheries trade and tariffs, and U.S. and foreign economic
trade strategies and policies.
Sil, Jayashree and Steven Buccola (1995). Efficiency of the Multiplant,
Multiproduct Firm. American Journal of Agricultural Economics,
77(4):1001-1011.
A general framework is provided for assessing the technology, cost, and
efficient scale of a multiplant, multiproduct firm. We show sufficient
conditions for the existence of a plant cost function, and necessary and
sufficient conditions for using plant-level data to draw exact firm-level cost
inferences. We also distinguish between plant and input nonjointness and show
the optimal relation between plant-level and firm-level cost elasticity in a
multiproduct setting. The framework is applied to a vegetable processing
cooperative, which is found to operate below its efficient scale.
