to increases in employment. An econometric analysis demonstrates that
productivity from the oyster grounds is larger under a property rights system
relative to a common property resource, but no empirical evidence is offered
that supports the theoretical conclusion that employment will increase.

Property Rights in the Fisheries." Southern Economic Journal,

When fish harvesting is treated as a common property resource,
distortions occur in the intraseasonal production patterns of the industry in
the form of relatively large intraseasonal price variation with common
property when no private property alternatives exist. When both private and
common property supplies are present, common property price distortions take
the form of lower ex-vessel prices.
Agnello, Richard J. and Yunqi Han (1993). "Substitute Site Measures in
a Varying Parameter Model with Application to Recreational
Fishing." Marine Resource Economics, 8(1):65-77.
This paper employs a varying parameter travel cost model to determine
the economic valuation of fishing trips and catch for a sample of Long Island
anglers. Substitution measures in the model are characterized in terms of the
number and the quality of proximate alternative sites. This treatment of
substitution as a site rather than an individual characteristic helps to
define a site's uniqueness and in addition provides a feasible means of
capturing substitution effects when measures of substitution at an individual
level are not available. Per trip consumer surplus and changes in consumer
surplus due to catch changes are computed and distinguished by controls for
the availability and quality of substitute sites. Consumer surplus and the
valuation of changes in catch are found to be substantially lower when
controlling for substitution effects which is in agreement with most previous
studies.

Aspects of the Multispecies Groundfish Fishery in New England and the
Mid-Atlantic Regions. Contract Number 50-DGNF-5-00008, National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, 1315 East-West Highway, Room
14529, Silver Spring, MD.
Aguirre International was engaged to report on the social and cultural
aspects of the multispecies groundfish fishery (MGF) in New England and the
Mid-Atlantic by ascertaining community dependence on the MGF, providing
information on the demographics of the fishing industry, identifying social
science data bases that could be used in subsequent studies and developing a
classification system that will aid in predicting the social impacts of the
changing fishery regulations on fishery dependent communities.

Vessels in Hawaii. UNIHI-SEAGRANT-AR-72-01, University of Hawaii Sea
Grant Program, July, 22 pp.
The study attempts to assess the cost-earnings situation of both the aku
(skipjack tuna) and ahi (other tuna) fleets. Cost-earnings data were derived
primarily from personal surveys of boat owners and fishermen. It is hoped
that this study will throw light on some aspects vital to the improvement of
the tuna industry in Hawaii.
