of shrimp import controls in perspective. The International Trace Commission
is conducting an investigation of the shrimp import situation, under authority
of Section 201 (b) (1) of the Trade Act of 1974, in which a determination will
be made as to whether those imports have caused economic injury to the U.S.
Shrimp industry. The principal issue addressed are the justification for
intervention, the potential effectiveness of intervention, and the long term
implications.

Related Aspects of Shellfish Consumption - Some Preliminary
Findings From the 1969 Consumer Panel Survey." U.S. Department of

A consumer survey panel, consisting of representative households
throughout the United State, recorded their fishery product purchases for a 12
month period beginning in February 1969. They were participants in a study
conducted under the aegis of the National Marine Fisheries Service, Division
of Economic Research. This paper deals mainly with study findings respecting
the consumption of major species of shellfish at home and away from home.
Findings of the study indicate marked regional preferences for individual
shellfish items. The study also indicated an association between high income
households and shellfish consumption with oysters a single notable exception.
Age of consumer has an apparent bearing on shellfish consumption as it was
found that older consumers are the more disposed toward consumption of these
products. It also appears that half or more of the crabs and lobsters are
consumed in meals outside the home, but the majority consumed of other
products was at home.

The shrimp industry was undergoing a period of adjustment to altered
conditions within the industry and the general economy. This report
summarizes the general trends in the economy and their likely impacts on the
prices, inventories, substitute commodities, and consumer demand for shrimp.

Because of data constraints this analysis of the productivity of the
Gulf shrimp fishery was limited to an analysis of several partial measures of
productivity. The analysis indicates that productivity in the industry has
declined in recent years.

The cost-benefit analysis of the North Pacific Fishery Management
Council's proposal to reallocate TAC for pollock and cod demonstrates that the
shift in production results in a significant reduction in the value of the
pollock stocks and society loses a significant number of dollars that could
