> Room A
> ECONOMICS OF FISHING COOPERATIVES UNDER THE AMERICAN FISHERIES ACT (I)
>
> The objective of this session is to promote a discussion of economic
> issues associated with fleet reduction and fishing cooperatives in the
> Bering Sea pollock fishery under the American Fisheries Act. The Act
> directly eliminates a number of at-sea processors and
> catcher-processors, it names the specific fishing vessels allowed to
> continue in the fishery, it restricts onshore processing to existing
> firms, and it permits fishing vessels to form cooperatives in which
> participants have stipulated catch shares. Experience with the resulting
> new system is short and potential effects of the industry
> re-organization are many. Some people view the cooperatives as
> essentially a substitute for IFQs. Others are concerned with the
> implications for price bargaining between fishing coops and
> processors. Part I of the session will address the origins,
> implementations and effects of the American Fisheries Act. Part II will
> include theoretical analyses and broader implications of cooperative
> management.
>
> *************
> Monday p.m. I
> 1:30-3:00
> Room B
> USES OF ECONOMICS BY U.S. FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCILS

> A discussion of the statutes that require economic and social analyses,
> including the current status of efforts to meet these stautory
> requirements; the types of economic and social analysises needed based
> on the nature of management actions; databases available to do required
> economic and social analyses; current efforts underway to improve and
> expand databases; the importance of economic and social analyses in the
> management decision-making process; the timing of economic & social
> analyses; the relationship between economic and social analyses; and
> communication between researchers, analysts, and reviewers. Part of the
> session will be devoted to presentations and the remainder to
> round-table discussion. This session will be a sequel to the session on
> "Fisheries Economics Data: What Do We Have? What Do We Need?"

> 8:30-10:00
> Room B
> MEASURING EFFICIENCY AND CAPACITY IN FISHERIES
>
> Measuring efficiency and capacity in fisheries has received a great deal
> of attention over the last few years, primarily because of international
> agreements calling on nations to reduce fishing capacity. During the
> IIFET meeting in July, a session was held to discuss the definition and
> measurement of capacity. This North American session proposes to extend
> upon the July IIFET meetings by seeking further studies of efficiency
> and capacity in fisheries, and by discussing potential options for
> reducing capacity in fisheries. Topics relating to measurement methods,
> theoretical considerations, applications, or management strategies for
> reducing capacity are desired for this session.

> *************
> Tuesday p.m. I
> 1:30-3:00
> Room A
> BIOECONOMIC MODELS AND FISHERY MANAGEMENT
>
> Policy analysis using bioeconomic models can integrate information from
> a multitude of fisheries related sciences into a standardized set of
> recommendations that provide information to fishery managers. The
> management information that results from this integrated framework for
> analysis is greater than the sum of the parts. Bioeconomic models can
> be qualitative, use limited data, or be empirically based static or
> dynamic models of fisheries. They provide guidance for future research
> to fill in missing analyses necessary to the management process. This
> session of NAAFE will provide case studies from different fisheries
> where bioeconomic models have been developed. It will provide a forum
> for discussion on modeling approaches, techniques, advancements,
> extensions into other sciences, and identify future research topics in
> each of these areas.

> (undergraduate and graduate) and in different kinds of courses (those
> devoted specifically to fisheries economics and in courses on broader
> topics such as fisheries, environmental economics, etc.). What are the
> options for textbooks and other readings? What are effective student
