uncertainties due to a lack of empirical data and inherent variability in
number of trips, keep rates, release mortality, compliance rates, and
behavioral changes, probability distributions were assigned and a Monte Carlo
simulation with 1,000 iterations run. The simulation results indicate that
the combined impact of the bag and size limit management measures will result
in an expected 25% reduction in cod and haddock recreational fishing
mortality. However, due to differences in size and catch distribution, the
management measures have a greater impact on anglers in the North. Nearly
two-thirds of the reduction in landings may be attributable to reductions in
the Northern area party/charter and private/rental boat modes.

with other information to create a combined data set from which cost data
could be inferred for vessels operating in the northeast region.

Analysis of Technical Interdependencies and the Value of Effort in
a Multi-Species Fishery." Draft report, Food and Resource
Economics Department, University of Florida, Gainesville.
The paper reports on the results of an analysis of the economic
interrelationships in Florida's commercial near shore fishery. A dual based
revenue function is specified to estimate own price and cross price
elasticities of supply for selected key species and to estimate the marginal
value of effort. Empirical findings indicate the fishery is characterized by
joint production among all species pairs and that the complementarity of
production is strongest for mullet as compared to any other species. This
finding implies that effective management of the near shore species complement
may be possible through management measures designed to reduce the harvest of
mullet. The paper concludes by demonstrating the potential effect that
restricting harvest on mullet might have on landings of other near shore
species. The amount of compensation payments required to leave commercial
harvesters as well off with the management change as without it are also
presented.
