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...
The present increasing need for the development of empirical hypotheses that explain the decisionmakers' behavior towards risk is to provide an understanding of the framework within which an industry operates. Such hypotheses could facilitate the implementation of policies designed to solve problems identified within an industry and could also provide...
The adoption of modem agricultural technologies in Bangladesh increases
overall agricultural productivity and income primarily through the increase in cereal
crop production. It, however, impedes the productivity of several other minor crops
and fishes, widens the distribution of income between the rich and the poor, exploits
resources and obstructs the...
Four assumptions--
1. That there is an effective and potential demand for processed
fruit products in the Western State of Nigeria.
2. That current supply of raw materials in the Western State
of Nigeria is more than sufficient to meet the increased demand
which the short-term addition or expansion (or...
This thesis examines how two grass seed industries
respond to changes in the production environment. Two sets
of factors are necessary to understand what adjustments
would be made. First, it is necessary to know the nature of
the markets and whether market power is being exerted.
Second we need to...
An experiment was conducted to examine the responses to
selection for high and low rate of gain in the mouse under a system
whereby inbreeding was maximized. Rate of gain was measured by an
index designed to include gains in both the pre- and postweaning
periods with the gains in...
Glucocorticoids are growth-inhibiting steroids. They have been reported to reduce
muscle growth by reducing protein synthesis. However, their actions on muscle protein
degradation remain equivocal. Glucocorticoids have been reported to transiently increase
muscle protein degradation, to not affect this process and to reduce muscle protein
degradation. Reasons for these conflicting...
The effect of nitrogen (N) application on seed yield of Limnanthes
alba was studied for two years at two locations. Seeding following alfalfa
(Medicago sativa L.) was compared to establishment after wheat
(Triticum aestivum L.). Treatments used were a control (no N applied),
and two rates of N (50 and...
Sod-seeding techniques offer graziers a convenient way to introduce superior grass cultivars into underproductive permanent pastures. Production loss and erosion are minimized. In conjunction with improved grazing management and fertilization, renovation can significantly improve yield and quality of pastures. Existent vegetation must be suppressed prior to introducing new cultivars. This...
Much outdoor recreation occurs on publicly owned land and water
resources, or involves use of these public resources. Consequently, an
economic problem arises concerning the value of recreational resources
which do not have a conventional market price. Without a price to guide
the allocation of resources, it is difficult to...
