In 1991, the National Marine Fisheries Service and the participating
nations of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas
(ICCAT), placed multilateral restrictions on the harvest of swordfish from
North Atlantic stocks. These restrictions were necessary to reduce fishing
mortality on what were deemed to be overfished stocks. A multi-market
approach is used to estimate consumer welfare changes in swordfish and tuna
markets as both markets adjust to changes in swordfish management. The
results of this analysis are compared and contrasted with that of a partial
equilibrium approach in which market price of substitute species are held
constant. The study findings indicate that the partial equilibrium approach
ignores the price effects of market interactions and results in incomplete
analysis of fishery management policy.

(1998). Summary Report of Methods and Descriptive Statistics for the
1994 Northeast Region Marine Recreational Fishing Participation Survey.
Draft report, Social Sciences Branch, NOAA, National Marine Fisheries
Service, Northeast Fisheries Science Center, Woods Hole, MA, 39 pp.
Two marine sportfishing surveys were conducted during 1994 in the
Northeast Region (Maine to Virginia). Data from the surveys provided
demographic and economic information on marine recreational fishing
participants and nonparticipants. In an earlier report (Steinback and O Neil)
the socioeconomic characteristics, recreational fishing preference and
perceptions of current and prospective fishery management regulations were
documented for a sample of saltwater recreational anglers that were on
intercepted fishing trips. This report serves as a companion to the Steinback
and O Neil report. The purpose of this report is to document the
socioeconomic characteristic or recreational fishing participants and
nonparticipants from a sample of households in the Northeast Region.
Additionally, the results of a statistical model to project recreational
fishing participation rates are reported and forecasts of recreational fishing
participation to the year 2010 are developed for each of the 10 states in the
study.
Thurman, Walter N. (1991). "Applied General Equilibrium Welfare
Analysis." Paper presented at the 1991 meetings of the American
Agricultural Economics Association in Manhattan, Kansas.
With the current and increasing interest in applying general equilibrium
welfare measurements, it seems useful to review what is known and to discuss
some of the issues applied researchers must face. The first half of my paper
demonstrates, through example, the variety of circumstances in which general
equilibrium welfare analysis works. The second half explores the limits of
its generality.
