Abstract: 

Tools of benefit-cost analysis are used to evaluate a project to rehabilitate the yellow
perch (Perca  flavescens ) fishery of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Both sport and
commercial fishers harvest from this stock, which  has been suffering from much
reduced productivity since the early 1960s. The project is composed of  commercial
quotas and other regulations. Measures of benefits and costs were used that explicitly
incorporate  uncertainly about the potential level of success of the project. The
analysis shows that commercial fish producers  will more or less break even
compared to where they would have been without the project, but that substantial 
recreational benefits can be expected.
