Zhou, Ying Qi (1998). Some Consideration on Fisheries management and Fishing
Capacity Control. Draft Report, Technical Working Group on the
Management of Fishing Capacity, FAO, La Jolla CA, April 15-18, 2 pp.
A set of observations on market conditions, fisheries management, and
the control of fishing capacity from an international perspective. Lack of
property rights are recognized as the underlying cause of excess capacity.
Correcting this market failure is cited as the only approach that will reduce
capacity.
Ziemer, Rod F., Wesley N. Musser, and R. Carter Hill (1980). Recreation
Demand Equations: Functional Form and Consumer Surplus. American
Journal of Agricultural Economics, 62(1):136-141.
A set of decision criteria for the choice between three popular
functional forms that have been employed previously in recreation demand
equations is presented. The choice between linear and quadratic forms can be
made via conventional hypothesis testing procedures. The Box and Cox
transformation procedure often allows choice between linear, semilog, and
other power transformations of the dependent variable. The consequences of
the choice of a particular functional form on consumer surplus also are
investigated.

Season in the Western Gulf of Mexico, from the Mississippi River to

The 1993 indices of postlarval and juvenile shrimp abundance indicate a
below average brown shrimp harvest off both Texas and Louisiana for the July
1993-June 1994 season.
Zimmerman, Steven and Mariamna D. Melovidov (1987). "The 1986
Subsistence Harvest of Northern Fur Seals, Callorhinus ursinus, on
St. Paul Island, Alaska." Marine Fisheries Review, 49(3):70-72.
There has been no commercial harvesting of northern fur seals on the
Pribilof Islands, Alaska since the Interim Convention on Conservation of North
Pacific Fur Seals expired in 1948. During 1985 and 1986, northern fur seals
were harvested on St. Paul and St. George Islands to meet only the dietary
(subsistence) needs of Aleut residents. A summary of the 1985 subsistence
harvest on St. Paul Island is found in Zimmerman and Leacher (1986). This
paper summarizes the 1986 harvest on St. Paul Island and contrasts the two
years.
Zuboy, J. R., A.C. Jones, and T.J. Costello (1980). "Lobster Fishery
Management Under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act."
Fisheries, 5(4):50-52.
The Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976 (PL 94-265) created
a new era in fishery management, featuring development of comprehensive
fishery management plans by regional fishery management councils and
management for "optimum yield." In this paper we discuss the main features of
the Act, consider the development of fishery management plans in general, and
