The shrimp industry by virtue of its being the most valuable U.S.
fishery is faced with problems that typify the general problems facing the
industry during this recovery period, e.g. costs, market strength, and import
competition. For these reasons, and for the practical reason of data
availability, shrimp operations were selected for a summary graphic analysis
that would put the status of the U.S. fishing industry in current perspective.

The financial predicament in the shrimp fishery predicated upon the
energy crisis and the resulting industry wide recovery problem are summarized
in a series of charts and graphs. The fuel cost situation is worsening and
overshadowing uncertain gains in the market place. The immediate future
promises continued economic hardship for the shrimp industry, and others in
fishing.
Miller, Morton M. and John E. Greenfield (1975). "Prognosis for the
Financial Ills of the Gulf Shrimp Industry." Report, Division of
Economics and Marketing Research, National Marine Fisheries
Service.
The trends in the shrimp industry are analyzed within the context of the
national economy to predict when the impact of the energy crisis on vessel
operating costs will subside or consumer demand will increase leading to a
reduction in the cost-price squeeze that caused vessel owner-operators to be
in a financial crisis. Trends indicate that a recovery had already begun by
the time the analysis was completed.
