agencies responsible for Canadian fisheries. Such as understanding will serve
to outline institutional constraints imposed upon fisheries management.
This paper examines a unique aspect of the fisheries resource that being
the nature of the governmental responsibilities in the management of the
fisheries. This is achieved through the examination of the evolution of the
Canadian federation, the constitution, the legal aspects of the fisheries, and
the leading judicial decisions on Canadian fisheries.

In 1974, the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) began specific
surveys of marine anglers; these surveys did not cover all U.S. contiguous
coastal areas until the latter half of 1979. Alaska, Hawaii, and the U.S.
Caribbean areas have not been covered consistently by the NMFS surveys. Thus,
some of the information presented here are the "best adjustments" of published
data.

"Optimal Investment and Financial Decisions for a Model Shrimp
Fishing Firm." TAMU-SG-70-205, Texas A&M University Sea Grant
Program, April, 49 pp.
In this study, the shrimp industry is briefly reviewed historically, and
some of the factors influencing the demand for shrimp as well as some of the
factors affecting the supply are discussed. The need for better aids for
investment planning is pointed out. This is followed by the development of a
mathematical investment financial model for the shrimp fishing firm. Each
facet of the model is discussed with a rigorous statement of the complete
decision making model. It is then shown how this first model may be
transformed into a form for computational purposes: a sequential linear
programming model. An economic interpretation is provided for the possible
corner solutions to this problem.

Stochastic Investment Model for a Survival Conscious Fishing
Firm." TAMU-SG-70-218, Institute of Statistics Texas A&M
University, Texas A&M University Sea Grant Program, July, 22 pp.
This study develops mathematical aids for investment-financial decision
making in shrimp fishing. The model developed allows for random prices and
catches per vessel and takes into account all of the information known to the
decision maker at each time of decision. Vagrancies in landings per vessel
seem to be much more important to the survival of the firm than unexpected
variations in price.

Stochastic Investment Model for a Survival Conscious Firm Applied
to Shrimp Fishing." Applied Economics, 5:75-87.
An operational stochastic capacity expansion model for a survival
conscious firm is developed and applied to shrimp fishing in which the
entrepreneur evaluates all the information known to him at the time of the
decision. The results show the effect of survival on the growth in net worth
of a firm making sequential and irreversible purchases of physical capital
