have caused new concerns for the U.S. shrimp fishing industry. Imports
increased dramatically since 1981 reaching a high of 421 million pounds (heads
off) in 1983 that accounts for over 70 percent of the supply of shrimp in the
U.S. Opposition to tariffs and quotas comes from three sources. Consumers
feel shrimp available for consumption would be reduced and would be available
only at considerably higher prices. Marketing and processing firms contend
that the cost of operations would be increased due to a reduction in volume of
shrimp for processing and marketing. Finally, industry analysis hypothesize
that increased ex-vessel prices due to reduced imports will be at best a short
run solution to the low or negative economic returns due to the expected
increased entry into the fishery associated with the increased prices.

The domestic import demand for shrimp and world supply of shrimp to U.S.
buyers is analyzed via a simultaneous model to determine principal factors
affecting the import market. Import price, quantity, and tax revenue effects
of proposed tariffs and/or quotas will then be analyzed. Finally an ex-vessel
domestic shrimp price equation is developed to determine the effect of a set
of economic factors on ex-vessel shrimp prices. Estimated changes in import
quantities demanded under the second objective are incorporated in the exvessel
model to estimate the effects of the proposed tariffs and quotas on exvessel
prices.

The purpose of this study was to collect information concerning the
production practices and associated costs and revenues of the oystermen in
Franklin County for the year starting September, 1982 and ending in August,
1983. A total of twenty-five questionnaires were completed through personal
interviews.
