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...
The principal objective of the study was first to
present a historical discussion of foreign and domestic
trade in canned salmon in the United States and Canada, and
secondly, to estimate the ex-vessel derived demand characteristics
for red and pink salmon facing the fishermen in both
countries. Secondary sources were...
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 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...
The implementation of particular management practices to control the use of natural resources can unintentionally create barriers to trade in resources and resource access. Foreign firms have developed a variety of methods to bypass trade barriers. This thesis examines the use of foreign direct investment as a means of bypassing...

The purpose of this study is to comprehend food demand
structure and its changes under rapid economic development
theoretically and statistically. The recently developed Far
East Asian countries, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan were chosen
to obtain implications for the food demand patterns in the
future industrialized countries around the world....
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...
Wild proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is a serious weed
recently infesting sweet corn fields in the Willamette Valley of
western Oregon. Field and greenhouse experiments were conducted to
determine the importance of seed depth in the position of the growing
point of wild proso millet seedlings and in the...
