Specification 1 lnQ = -1.301 + 0.120 lnK + 0.809 lnL + 0.498 lnC
Q = catch landed
K = index of extent of utilization of the boat
(apparently sum of daily depreciation
rate)
L = # fishermen aboard boat * # days fished for
halibut
C = density of fish = catch per skate
A skate is a set of short branch
lines fitted with hooks and attached to a main trunkline.
Skates are spaced about 13 feet apart.
Data corrected for idiosyncrasies of different boats.
Specification 2
lnQ = -.00595 t + .121 lnK + .702 lnL + .495 lnC + .993
M1 + .897 M2 + .773 M3
M1 = 1 if captain rated excellent
M2 = 1 if captain rated good
M3 = 1 if captain rated average
