The southeast U.S. shrimp fishery has been the focus of considerable
attention in recent years, the result of both its size and impacts on other
fisheries. Seasonal and/or area closures of the shrimp fishery have been
proposed in the gulf region as one means of protecting juvenile fish as well
as increasing the shrimp yield. The impacts of seasonal/area closures on the
shrimp processing sector, while important to this $1.0 billion component of
the southeast U.S. shrimp industry, are largely unknown to regulatory agencies
responsible for imposing any such restrictions. This paper provides an
analysis of 1991 Southeast U.S. shrimp processing activities based on a survey
of processors throughout the region. The results can be used to help assess
potential impacts on the processing sector resulting form harvesting
regulations.

The goal of this report was to provide an analysis of the southeast
shrimp processing industry at a level of detail sufficient to assist in the
analysis of the impacts on the processing sector related to area/seasonal
closures at the harvesting level. Small and mid-size firms would be
disproportionately impacted from any management measures that reduces overall
domestic shrimp supply. Management measures that would increase the average
size of shrimp at harvest would negatively impact the peeled raw component of
the southeast shrimp industry. The raw headless component of the industry may
benefit from any such action.

Shrimp is one of the world s largest fisheries when measured in terms of
the value of output. With the increased success of farming activities
throughout the world, during the 1980's, world shrimp production, i.e.,
combined wild and farm raised harvests, expanded substantially. Trade in this
important seafood commodity simultaneously expanded and became more complex in
nature. First, shrimp production by primary producing areas of the world
(i.e., Central America, South America, and Asia) are examined in this paper
