Coast markets. The composition of the catch by size and species in each
season introduced variable responses by regional market. Also, south Atlantic
appeared least price-sensitive to its own catch.

Landings." Marine Resource Economics, 6:163-172.
Variation in the species and size composition of local and regional
shrimp landings result in uncertain and sometimes volatile ex-vessel prices
paid to fishermen. A seemingly unrelated regressions price-modeling framework
was used to forecast contemporaneous price effects of the composition of
shrimp landing in closely associated market regions. Price responses to U.S.
regional shrimp landings and to imports were significantly related to
differentiated markets by species and location. Regional consumer income
impacts on average ex-vessel prices for each species were also significantly
different. Implications of shrimp price response differences in related local
markets are also discussed.

New England Groundfish Industry. An Economic Profile for Policy
and Regulatory Analysts." Final report, Saltonstall/Kennedy
Project, National Fisheries Institute, Washington, D.C.
A description of the New England Groundfish fishery, its biology,
industry structure, and markets is provided in the report. A simplistic
demand analysis indicates that a 8.3 or 5.4 percent reduction in consumption
for haddock or ocean perch occurs with each 10 percent increase in price.

A description of the Maine sardine fishery, its biology, industry
structure, and markets is provided in the report. A simplistic demand
analysis indicates that a 6 percent reduction in consumption occurs with each
10 percent increase in sardine price.

U.S. Menhaden Industry, An Economic Profile for Policy and
Regulatory Analysts." Final report, Saltonstall/Kennedy Project,
National Fisheries Institute, Washington, D.C.
The use of whole menhaden for fertilizer has been documented as far back
as the American Indians prior to settlement of the country by the European
colonists, and this use of menhaden for fertilizer continued into the 1800's.
The menhaden oil industry has grown steadily since its genesis in Rhode Island
in 1811. In the 1900's, menhaden's primary use changed from fertilizer to
feed for poultry, swine, and cattle, and the oil began to be used in
manufacturing soap, certain paints, linoleum, waterproof fabrics, and
margarine and shortenings (in Europe). These uses of the meal and oil still
predominate.
