"Economic Feasibility of Shrimp Farming in Texas: An Investment
Analysis for Semi-Intensive Pond Grow-Out." Journal of World
Mariculture, 16:129-150.
A firm level simulation model (MARSIM) was developed to analyze the
survival of different shrimp farm sizes in Texas. The model simulates the
annual activities of a shrimp farm: production, finances, cash receipts,
capital replacement and depreciation, cash flows, income taxes, balances, and
growth. A firm is replicated 50 times over a 10 year planning horizon.
Random values for shrimp growth and survival, temperature, hurricanes, and
prices received in each of 10 years are generated from multivariate empirical
probability density functions (pdf) for these variables. For the analysis
summarized here, a shrimp farm was simulated using 3 different size systems
and 4 different pond sizes. Results indicate that higher rates of return and
faster payback are associated with larger total farm size and larger ponds.
For large farms (400 surface hectares), pond size becomes less critical to
obtaining an acceptable rate of return to investment. The amount of time
taken to construct a facility significantly impacts the rate of return.
Hurricanes, prices, production, and temperature variation are also critical
factors affecting the firm's returns and survival.
Harberger, Arnold C. (1971). "Three Basic Postulates for Applied
Welfare Economics: An Interpretive Essay." Journal of Economic
Literature, 9(3):785-797.
The postulates are (a) the competitive demand price for a given unit
measures the value of that unit to the demander; (b) the competitive supply
price for a given unit measures the value of that unit to the supplier; and
(c) when evaluating the net benefits for costs of a given action, the costs
and benefits accruing to each member of that relevant group should normally be
added without regard to the individual to whom they accrue.

The population problem has no technical solution; it requires a

The objectives of this report are to examine (1) trends in commercial
landings and effort, (2) catch per unit effort (CPUE), and (3) size of lobster
in commercial and recreational catches.
