Galveston region stimulated total economic output of $55.9 million. Total
economic output of $8.5 million was stimulated by the $2.7 million landings by
the commercial shrimp industry within the Beaumont-Port Arthur region.

in the Shrimp Industry." Conference Schedule & Abstracts, May 24-

Inc. and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Abstracts from an international conference on bycatch whose objectives
were to summarize information on the status of the bycatch problem and
alternative shrimp harvesting techniques for bycatch reduction, identify
future research needs for addressing bycatch, obtain input from scientists,
fishermen, fishery managers, and environmentalists on future management
strategies, and provide for the dissemination of research and conference
recommendations for evaluation by representatives of the scientific,
commercial and recreational, and environmental communities.
Jones, T.M., J.W. Hubbard, and K.J. Roberts (1979). "Productivity and
Profitability of South Carolina Shrimp Vessels, 1971-75." Marine
Fisheries Review, 41:8-14.
This study uses data from a 45 vessel sample of South Carolina's double
rig resident shrimp trawlers to analyze resource productivity and
profitability in the fishery from 1971 to 1975. Smaller vessels (55 feet)
vessels and had lower operating costs. Placing vessels of both size classes
on the same risk and financing cost basis would result in slightly higher
percentage returns, i.e. lower losses, to investment in the larger trawlers
than to investment in the smaller trawlers. The opportunity cost analysis
indicated that shrimping labor is earning less than its opportunity income, as
is new capital investment, but that management (the vessel captains) is
earning above what it would in its best alternative. The larger vessels
typically possessed about 1.4 times the fishing power of the typical smaller
vessels; engine horsepower was the most significant predictor of fishing
power. However, multiplication of the vessel fishing power index by the
transformed fuel consumption variable showed that the average larger vessel
exerted only 15 percent more effort in the fishery than did the typical
smaller vessel.

Warmwater." Globefish Research Programme, Vol. 3, Food and

Division, 00100 Rome, Italy, November, pp. 48.
This study examines current markets and future market prospects for
coldwater and warmwater shrimp in the European Community. The study is
divided into 4 parts. A brief analysis is given of the present production
situation for coldwater shrimp in European countries, the general supply
patterns as well as brief information on competing markets for European
