Oregon coast cold storage : simulation modeling and optimal temperature management for efficient planning

Creator:: Burden, Merrick J.
Abstract:: For years, the Oregon fishing industry has argued that the lack of coastal cold storage designed to handle seafood has severely limited the opportunity to develop value-added products and retain seafood industry employment. Once landed, the majority of Oregon seafood spends little time on the coast, and a large portion...

Contending with risk in the seafood processing industry : a bioeconomic portfolio analysis of the Pacific whiting fishery

Creator:: Tuininga, Chris R
Abstract:: Since harvest levels of many of the world's fisheries are not likely to increase in the foreseeable future, resource managers and seafood processors need to develop improved strategies to maximize the utilization and benefits of current catches. In addition to increasing utilization and benefits, seafood processors are subject to the...

The multidimensional role of intrinsic quality in the management of natural resources : a bioeconomic analysis of the Pacific whiting fishery

Creator:: Larkin, Sherry L.
Abstract:: The relationship between intrinsic fish quality (fish condition before handling), production efficiency, product price, and the optimal management of commercial "wild" fisheries was explored in four companion papers. The optimal management plan-consisting of quotas and harvest schedules - would maximize the discounted net industry revenues (NPV) given a minimum biomass...

A Monte Carlo analysis of principal components and ridge regression with application to a fisheries evaluation model

Creator:: Sass, M. E. (Mary Ellen)
Abstract:: Essential to the testing of propositions in economic theory is the estimation of the parameters involved in relationships among economic variables. Probably the most widely used method of estimation is ordinary least squares (OLS). However, severe multicollinearity or near linear dependence of the explanatory variables can cause the OLS estimates...

Impact of artificial flooding on farm profits and streamflow in Echo Meadows, Oregon

Creator:: Seely, Harold E.
Abstract:: Competition for water both from within the irrigation community and from outside interests has been a major source of conflict in the West. In the Umatilla Basin of central Oregon, Umatilla River water is diverted to irrigate a variety of crops, while instream flows have value in salmonid production. Historically,...

A method to improve consumer surplus estimates from truncated recreation demand data

Creator:: Weidner, Kerri L
Abstract:: A method is presented in this study for improving empirical travel cost analyses when truncated data are available. The analysis expands upon a Monte Carlo study conducted by Riyadi (1993) which compared the coefficient and consumer surplus estimates for five travel cost estimators using both truncated and censored data. Riyadi...

Modeling Oregon’s biodiesel subsidies and their potential effects on the Willamette Valley agricultural landscape

Creator:: Siegel, Ryan W.
Abstract:: The beginning of the twenty-first century has seen an upsurge in petroleum prices and an increased concern over greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, the interest in biodiesel production has heightened. Policy at the Federal level, such as the blender’s tax credit which provides $1 for every gallon of biodiesel blended with...

Irrigated agriculture, energy, and endangered species in the Upper Klamath Basin : Evaluating trade-offs and interconnections

Creator:: Boehlert, Brent B.
Abstract:: In 2001, an extreme drought tightened water supply in the Upper Klamath Basin (basin) while earlier increases in Endangered Species Act (ESA) water requirements for basin fish species that same year elevated demands. The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), which manages irrigation water in parts of the basin located near the...

Estimating the value of irrigation water transferred to instream flow : A case study of Umatilla County, Oregon

Creator:: Ugrinska, Monika P.
Abstract:: Agricultural water supplies are becoming increasingly uncertain in the western United States due to elevated demands from competing water users, environmental restrictions on surface water withdrawals as a result of the establishment of the Endangered Species Act in 1973, and potential climatic changes. Since many rural communities in the West...
