educing discards. This chapter explores how the practice of discard has
become institutionalized to such a degree that managers in effect sanction
waste by counting discards against the catch quotas of directed fisheries that
wish to take and use the very species discarded. It questions whether this
policy of allocating catch levels first to a fishery that must discard this
take is in keeping with a stated national policy of wise use of marine
resources.

Eventual development of marine minerals potential in the Asian Pacific
would likely draw on the technology, skills, and experience of the emerging
international seabed mining industry. As a result of strategic behavior by
its firms, this small numbers industrial strategic group has created a level
of capacity for seabed mining exploration and research and development (R&D)
that far exceeds the near term level of activity expected in seabed mining.
The paper reports on the nature of preproduction industry structure (or
protostructure ) in seabed mining and draws implications for efforts to
develop the resource potential of Asian Pacific marine minerals. Seabed
minerals exploration and R&D services might be offered to Asian Pacific
nations at bargain prices (below unit cost) by firms with first starter
advantages in the emerging industry. However, cautionary notes are included
about constraints on the economic potential of the regions s deep sea minerals
such as manganese nodules, polymetallic sulfides, and cobalt crusts.

Quota: Lessons From the Wreckfish Fishery." Draft report,
Department of Economics, University of North Carolina at

This paper explores the reasons for the observed behavior of the
wreckfish catch and the market for quota and annual leases of quota.
Understanding these observations may have important implications for the
management of ITQ fisheries; it may change our expectations of how much of the
actual resource rents can actually be recovered under realistic management
conditions and it may point to changes in management that allow for the
greater recovery of otherwise lost rents.

Recent experience with individual transferable quotas (ITQs) as a tool
of fisheries management has begun to shed empirical light on the well
established theory of ITQs. The Atlantic wreckfish (Polyprion americanus) is
currently under ITQ management by the U.S. federal government, and in may ways
the theoretical predictions about ITQs have been borne out by developments in
this fishery. But an unexpected puzzle has arisen; not all owners of
wreckfish quotas are using their fishing rights, even though the market price
