Fisheries Service data on shrimp landings and related effort data and also the
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries data on commercial shrimp
license sales. The primary data were obtained through a 1987 survey of the
Louisiana shrimp fleet. Such an evaluation is necessary before sound policy
and management can be implemented.

Reef Fish Species in the Gulf & South Atlantic Regions of the
United States." Draft report.
A price dependent demand equation for reef fish species (grouper and
snapper) is estimated using a sample of 15,000 households in the U.S. as a
function of commercial landings, imports, disposable income, and a dummy
variable representing institutional changes in market demand.

Shrimp Imports and Dockside Prices with Policy Implications."
Draft Report, Center for Weltand Resources, Louisiana State
University, Baton Rouge, La.
U.S. imports of shrimp have been increasing at record levels during the
1980's. These increased imports, and their potential impact on the domestic
dockside price structure, have been of significant concern to the U.S. shrimp
harvesting sector and have recently led to a Federal investigation conducted
under Section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 which evaluated conditions of
competition affecting the Gulf and south Atlantic shrimp fishery. This paper
presents a model, developed within an appropriate statistical and economic
framework, that explains the growth in U.S. imports of shrimp and their impact
on dockside shrimp prices. Significant factors which were found to determine
annual levels of shrimp imports include: (1) the price of imports, (2)
southeastern shrimp landings, (3) beginning shrimp inventories, (4) U.S. real
disposable income, (5) exchange rates, (6) the Japanese import price of
shrimp, (7) world production of shrimp, and (8) foreign real income.
Increased imports were found to have a significant negative impact on
southeast shrimp dockside prices.

The overall goal of the report is to provide an analysis of the
Southeast shrimp processing sector at a level of detail sufficient to examine
the impacts associated with seasonal/area closures. Specifically, the
proposal called for the collection of data from a representative sample of
Gulf Region processors and wholesalers pertaining to monthly production
activities and impacts related to potential closures.
