The primary purpose of this study was to analyze world trade in warmwater
shrimp, with emphasis given to the United States and Japan. Toward this
end, a ten equation system of import demand and export supply functions was
developed and estimated using quarterly time-series data covering the 1985-95
period. In addition, an equation depicting the Guff of Mexico dockside price
was developed and estimated using quarterly time-series data for the 1980-95
period. Results from this exercise were then used to forecast expected
changes in certain relevant endogenous variables, particularly the Gulf of
Mexico dockside price, that would likely be forth coming as a result of
specific changes in the levels of some key exogenous variables, such as
regional aquaculture production.

This study provided a detailed analysis of the Southeast Reef Fish
processing industry for 1995 (which includes almost all processors of species
under jurisdiction of the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico Management
Councils) to help identify potential impacts related to management measures
imposed on the harvesting sector. The primary conclusion reached from this
research effort is that the extreme diversity of the southeast U.S. processing
industry (in terms of number of species utilized etc.) and the large supply of
domestic and imported raw material relative to current usage among processors
will tend to insulate processors somewhat from restrictions imposed on the
harvesting sector that would limit the overall supply of domestic product.

Assessment of the Louisiana Shrimp Fishery." Final Report,

Fisheries Institute, Louisiana State University, October, 129 pp.
The goal of this report is to provide a general economic evaluation of
Louisiana's shrimp harvesting sector focusing on the inshore component since
it is not well understood and because of the possibilities for management
available to the state.

Shrimp Fishery: An Economic Perspective with Emphasis on the 1987
Inshore Fleet." Draft Report, Coastal Fisheries Institute, Center

Louisiana leads the nation in the poundage of shrimp produced. Its
fleet, numbering upwards of 20 thousand in total, is exceedingly diverse which
complicates any attempt at developing an "optimal" management strategy. For
example, the smaller boats in the fleet tend to fish in and around the
shoreline of the state and target relatively small shrimp as they migrate
offshore. The larger boats are more offshore based and tend to target a
larger shrimp which has a higher per pound price. Actions taken by the
smaller inshore and near-shore boats impact the performance of the offshore
fleet through a reduction in shrimp availability in offshore waters. This
paper provides a general economic evaluation of the Louisiana shrimp fishery;
particularly the inshore component. It was accomplished though the use of
secondary and primary data. The secondary data consisted of National Marine
