Bibliography of socio-economic studies : fisheries of the northeast U.S.
This bibliography of social and economic studies of the fisheries of the
Northeast United States (Maine to North Carolina) includes annotated listings
for each entry and an index of key words for cross-referencing. We have
attempted to include all studies published since 1970, and a selected group of
particularly significant studies done earlier. The major focus has been on
commercial fisheries, but recreational fishing studies have also been included
when possible. In addition to studies of the Northeast United States
fisheries, studies of Canadian fishing subsidies, European and other markets,
have been included because of their relevance to the regional industry. All
stages of the fishing industry's operation - harvesting, processing,
distribution, marketing - are included, along with management and policy
oriented material.Prepared for the National Marine Fisheries Service Contract

The impact of the Law of the Sea Conference on U.S. marine scientific research : report on a questionnaire
Because of the Law of the Sea Conference and other factors there
recently has been a continuing expansion in the legal, economic, and
scientific control over the ocean by coastal countries. This paper presents
the results of a questionnaire survey mailed to U.S. marine scientists,
soliciting their experiences during the last decade in conducting research in
the coastal waters of foreign countries and their expectations for the
future. Tables present the countries where research had been conducted,
methods of and difficulties in obtaining clearance from foreign governments,
the affect of foreign rules on design, planning and execution of research, and
areas of interest for future research. Fifty-eight percent of the seventy-two
respondents (136 originally sent) had encountered difficulties in obtaining
permission to work in foreign coastal waters. Forty-nine percent anticipate
that Law of the Sea Treaty requirements may cause such problems for them in
the future. The respondents made comments and recommendations bearing on
future U.S. marine research in foreign waters. One set of tables presents
results for the total group; another set presents results for subgroups of
those in particular scientific disciplines.Funding was provided by the Pew Memorial Trust, the

Proceedings of the Workshop on Fisheries Sociology : April 26-27, 1985, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
From the Forward: The idea for an Exploratory Workshop on Fisheries Sociology emerged from
informal discussions held at the 1983 Rural Sociological Society meetings.
Planning for the Exploratory Workshop was undertaken by the two of us (Bailey
and Harris) with the assistance of Peter Sinclair and Christopher Vanderpool.
We sought to identify persons working in different areas of the sociology of
fisheries who could present review papers on their areas of inquiry. The
papers in this volume are the result of that effort.
At the same time, we sought to identify persons who would be interested in
attending such a workshop• By combining our personal networks, the mailing
list of the Fisheries Anthropologist at the National Marine Fisheries Service
(Peter Fricke), and the list of attendees at two sessions on fisheries
organized by Bailey at the 1984 Rural Sociological Society meetings, we
developed a mailing list of 83 sociologists working on some aspect of
fisheries. Invitations to attend the workshop were sent to those persons.
In response to the invitation, 24 sociologists attended the Workshop.
They came from eleven states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, three
provinces of Canada, and Norway. They represented work in both industrialized
and developing nations, in subsistence, recreational and commercial fisheries,
and in aquaculture.This report was prepared with funds from the American
