Foreign and domestic trade in canned salmon of the U.S. and Canada : the effect on the derived demand of the fishermen
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.
