Owners and captains of both commercial red snapper boats and party boats
along the north Florida Gulf coast were interviewed in 1975. Cost and return
data were collected and analyzed for 1974. Also documented and analyzed was
the economic importance to the region of the commercial and party boat
industry. Price analyses are conducted and compared with past research. A
description of marketing channels is provided with special emphasis placed on
the role of imports. Finally, the need for management programs in the red
snapper-grouper industry receives comment.

Budgetary Economic Analysis of Florida Based Gulf of Mexico Red
Snapper-Grouper Vessels by Size and Location, 1974-75." Marine

This paper combines the analysis of production data for the northern
gulf commercial vessels with additional production data collected from the
Florida west coast or southeastern gulf red snapper-grouper production area to
provide a comparative report on the costs and returns for vessels operation in
these two areas. Two methods of analysis were used to analyze the cost and
returns data. First, an ordinary least squares regression equation using
dummy variables was used to determine if statistically significant differences
exist in costs and revenues between port locations and size of the fishing
firm. Second, specific differences in costs and revenues by firm size and
port location are analyzed using detailed cost and return budgets for the four
classes of vessels.

Major markets for Bangladesh frozen shrimp are the European Union, the
United States, and Japan. Bangladesh frozen shrimp imports into the EU and
the U.S. have experienced safety and quality problems. The 1997 European
Commission ban on Bangladesh seafood imports into the EU cost the Bangladesh
frozen shrimp processing industry US $14.665 million in lost revenues.

The objectives of this report are to 1) determine sources of published
and documented data concerning sea turtle harvesting, consumption and prices;
2) analyze trends in production and consumption of sea turtle meats and shells
by country from best available statistics; 3) determine from available
statistics international trade patterns in sea turtle meats and shells; and 4)
