for a copy of "Fisheries Management for Fishermen" (publication
MASGP-94-012) by RK Wallace, W. Hosking, and ST Szedlmayer.

This manual is designed to explain many of the basic fishery management
formulae etc in simple terms.  This is an excellent "primer".

Sorry, but I don't have an email address.  However, I think RK Wallace is
subscribed to this list; if not, I know he is on FISHFOLK and you might be
able to contact him through that list.
