Patterns and Rates in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as Determined by
a Cooperative Tagging Program: Its Relation to resource
Management." Marine Fisheries Review, 49(2):26-43.
Migration patterns and rates for striped marlin tagged and recaptured in
the northeast Pacific Ocean during 1957-81 are reported by time period and
analyzed. Few long range migrations and no trans-Pacific migrations were
observed. Comparisons are made with other types of physical and biological
data that might indicate seasonal movement (i.e. longline catch rates, areas
of striped marlin spawning, movement of thermocline depth relative to fishing
success). A tentative hypothesis describing the seasonal movement of striped
marlin in the northeast Pacific and the total eastern Pacific is also proposed
and presented in graphic form.

During the 1983 El Nino to the Geographical Distribution of Some
Important Recreational Pelagic Species and Their Catch Temperature
Parameters." Marine Fisheries Review, 49(2):44-57.
Most literature on the effects of the warm period on fish catch involves
descriptions of the geographical extent of distribution. Some west coast
researchers have reviewed the catch of fish off California in relation to
variable sea surface temperature, and others the effects of temperature
changes in northern waters to catch. Here, I present information on mean sea
surface temperature at the point of capture ("catch temperatures") that have
been observed for several species common to southern California recreational
fisheries, and on the geographical extension of these optimal catch
temperature into the northern latitudes off the west coast during the 1983
period of intense warming.

Industry Structure: An Application of the Long-Run Profit Function
to the New England Fishing Industry." Draft, National Marine
Fisheries Service, La Jolla, California.
The long run multiproduct profit function is developed to provide a more
general procedure than the static minimum cost function to examine the
technological and cost determinants of multiproduct industry structure and the
likely form of any market equilibrium. In this approach, outputs are
endogenous and the long run equilibrium levels of quasi-fixed factors are
endogenously determined. The multiproduct structure of the multispecies New
England fishing industry and the likely multiproduct form of any open access
equilibrium are examined.
Squires, Dale (1987). "Fishing Effort: Its Testing, Specification, and
Internal Structure in Fisheries Economics and Management."
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management 14(3):268-282.
The concept of fishing effort is central to fisheries economics and
management. However, effort is an aggregate index of inputs which can be
consistently formed only under the condition of production technology of
homothetic separability of inputs. This paper develops the conditions under
which effort can be consistently formed. It then provides the first empirical
test for effort and jointness in inputs in a fishery by estimating a
multiproduct function for the New England otter trawl fleet. After not
rejecting input-output separability and rejecting nonjointness in inputs, the
construction of a superlative index for effort is demonstrated through
estimating a translog production function., The implications of effort's
internal structure for fisheries management are then considered.
