during the 1980-93 period and changes therein are related to farming
activities. Then, exports of shrimp products by region of the world are
analyzed with respect to the two primary import markets, the United States and
Japan. Changes in volume of trade, export prices and product composition are
evaluated and related to production trends.

Demand for Oyster Relaying Activities in Louisiana: 1976-95. Draft
Report, Coastal Fisheries Institute, Wetland Resources Building,
Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, December, 28 pp.
Louisiana leads the nation in terms of annual production of oyster
meats. Production is derived from both leased water-bottoms and the public
seed grounds. A sizeable amount of the water-bottoms under lease is under
either conditional or restricted status. To make the best economic use of
leases under these two statuses, lease holders will, at times, relay oysters
from leases in conditional or restricted areas to leases in approved areas.
This paper examines relaying activities in Louisiana during the 1976-95
period. Specifically, an econometric model was developed and estimated to
examine the demand for relaying activities in the state. Results suggest that
demand depends significantly on economic as well as environmental factors.

Baton Rouge, LA, April, 30 pp.
This report examines the Louisiana boating sector through the use of
secondary data detailing several facets of the industry. Aspects covered in
the document include boat building and repairing, boat dealing and retailing,
state registered boats and Coast Guard documented vessels. The Louisiana
boating sector is also related to comparable sectors in other Gulf States and
at the national level. Finally, while not discussed in great detail,
statistics pertaining to the Louisiana ship building and repair industry are
presented in Appendix A.

"An Analysis of Economic Change in the Southeastern U.S. Blue Crab
Processing Industry, 1973-90." Draft report, Coastal Fisheries
Institute, Center for Coastal, Energy, and Environmental
Resources, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
submitted to Marine Fisheries Review.
Processing is an often overlooked component of the U.S. seafood
industry. This paper presents an economic analysis of the southeast U.S. blue
crab processing industry, and changes therein, during the 1973-90 period. The
analysis was conducted based on unpublished NMFS records on processing
activities among individual blue crab processing firms in the Southeast. The
analysis found that while blue crab processing activities, as measured in
pounds processed, increased significantly during 1973-90, the deflated value
of these activities increased only marginally due to a sharp decline in the
deflated price of the processed product.
