The increased US domestic production of surimi from the US Pacific Coast after 1977 is a major consequence of the US's extended fisheries jurisdiction to 200 nautical miles. It is only one consequence, however, whose nature can best be understood by examining the surimi market in the context of what...
The ex-vessel coho salmon market has been paid scant attention
in the study of the salmon resources. This study is an attempt to
advance an understanding of the variations of ex-vessel prices and
landings during the coho season as well as between the various coastal
ports where the fish is...
The fundamental objective of this analysis was to isolate and
identify the factors governing the demand for domestically produced
rainbow trout in a representative west coast market, and assess the
impact on that demand, if any, of the introduction of pansize salmon.
The approach taken in this market demand study...
New types of exchange arrangements are becoming
increasingly popular for a wide range of goods traded
internationally. Several types of countertrade
arrangements have been identified, ranging from pure
barter to more elaborate schemes where only a portion of
the trade is "paid for" in goods, including bilateral
trading agreements with...
There is considerable evidence to support the
hypothesis that seafood, poultry and meat are close
substitutes in consumer demand. Thus the relationships
among prices are important in determining consumption
patterns among these protein sources. In addition, there
are at least two kinds of outlets in which seafood, poultry
and meat...
The Pacific salmon market may often be characterized by
disequilibrium conditions and less than perfect information. Thus the
study of the decision-making behavior, especially short-run pricing,
of wholesale market participants in this industry requires the use of
alternative models to the conventional, price-taking, perfect
competition model of the firm.
This...
The primary purpose of the study was to identify the demand
for processed salmon from the West Coast. The basic approach in
the demand analysis was to identify those variables that determine
the supply and demand for processed salmon. An econometric model
was established containing the supply and demand equations...
