1985 and peaked in 1990 at 7475 mt. Imports fell to 5838 mt in 1993, and have
only reached 1741 mt through June of 1994. Swordfish imports now exceed
domestic Atlantic swordfish production. In recent years, most of the imports
have come from the western Pacific. Since 1990, imports have fallen from
every country except Canada, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St.
Vincent, Bermuda, Venezuela, Uruguay, Italy, and New Zealand, where total
swordfish imports have steadily increased. Imports from countries such as
Trinidad and Tobago, Japan, Singapore, and Taiwan have fluctuated.

Industry: A Briefing Report." TAMU-SG-92-501, Texas Marine

Shrimp is the backbone of the Texas seafood economy, and is easily the
most valuable fishery in the state. Shrimp are harvested year round with 70
percent harvested between July and December. With increased production came
investment in shore side processing facilities. Lender participation has been
essential in making the Texas shrimp industry an economic success. Every
attempt has been made to incorporate the most recent data into this report.

Preliminary Assessment of the 1992 Shrimping Season." Departments
of Agricultural Economics and Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences,
Texas Agricultural Extension Service, Sea Grant College Program,
Texas A&M University, September, 51 pp.
This report quantifies current and anticipated shrimp production in 1992
and offers reasons why landings in some ports are significantly below historic
expected values. It begins with a review of shrimp production in Texas from
both a long run and seasonal perspective followed by a discussion of habitat
requirements of larval and subadult penaeid shrimp. Next, the methods used to
evaluate the 1992 season are enumerated. The report concludes with a
discussion of the 1992 season (both realized and anticipated) from both a
coastal and county perspective. Detailed data tables that support this
section are found in the appendix. All data pertaining to each county are
presented alphabetically, followed by a coastal summary.

Seafood-Linked Employment and Payroll in Texas." TAMU-SG-93-503,
Texas Marine Advisory Service, May, 10 pp.
This report quantifies the employment and payroll attributable to
businesses that depend on the Texas seafood industry for sales or purchases.
Seafood linked in 1989 is estimated at 30,036 full time jobs with an annual
payroll of $326.5 million. Among coastal counties, the seafood industry is
often the largest taxpayer as well as the largest employer.
