extreme importance because of the relative growth and size of foreign markets.
Prochaska, F.J. (198?). "Shrimp Imports...Impact On The Domestic
Industry." Marine Log, Florida Sea Grant.
Impacts of shrimp imports on the domestic shrimp fishery. The report
cites that a 10 cent per pound increase in ex-vessel prices results in the
entry of 171 new boats and vessels into the Gulf of Mexico fishery. With new
entrants offsetting income gains to existing fishing craft in the fleet.

A discussion of the impacts of maricultured shrimp on shrimp import
levels and the shrimp industry. Much work remains to be done to quantify the
impacts of shrimp mariculture on the domestic price for shrimp products.

Shrimp Prices at Ex-Vessel, Wholesale, and Retail Market Levels."
Draft report, Department of Food and Resource Economics,
University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.
Previously no research has been conducted to determine price
relationships between market levels. Thus, differential market impacts of
various price determinants and restrictive policy measures such as tariffs and
quotas could not be analyzed at various market levels and for other market
dimensions, such as markets defined by product size classes. The goal of the
research reported in this paper was to provide information on which
differential impacts can be estimated. The format of the present paper is to
(1) review trends in prices, margins, and market shares for 21-25 and 31-40
count raw, headless shrimp, (2) determine direction of price flows and
existence of asymmetric price response between ex-vessel, wholesale, and
retail market levels, and (3) determine factors affecting prices for the two
size classes at the three market levels.

the Southeast: Supply Problems and Structural Change." Southern
Journal of Agricultural Economics, July:247-252.
A growing deficit in shrimp landings relative to processing needs in the
southeast region of the United States concerns both industry and government
officials. Structural changes in the shrimp industry are encouraged by the
growing supply deficit. The shrimp supply situation and resulting industry
organization changes are the primary concerns of this paper.

Cost and returns data provide a basis to which individual fishing firms
can compare their own operations to determine any needed change in their
business management or fishing practices. This data set is collected from
