Domestic shrimp price drops below imports

August 28, 2015 Gulf of Mexico

The typical $0.40 to $0.60 per pound premium on domestics — which had risen to $3 last year at this time — has not only completely collapsed but also reversed itself, price quotes from sources reveal. A price sheet form a major US shrimp distributor lists imported vannamei at $6.15/lb. for 16-20 per pound count, raw, peeled and deveined, tail-off product. Meanwhile, a US-based shrimp distributor is currently selling Gulf of Mexico shrimp with identical specifications at $5/lb, the distributor, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The New England groundfish debacle (Part III): who or what is at fault? Nils E. Stolpe/FishNet

It took me a while to decide how to most accurately describe the situation that has been visited upon the New England fishing communities that are and since colonial times have been dependent on the groundfish fisheries.

NILS STOLPE: The New England groundfish debacle (Part IV): Is cutting back harvest really the answer?

While it’s a fact that’s hardly ever acknowledged, the assumption in fisheries management is that if the population of a stock of fish isn’t at some arbitrary level, it’s because of too much fishing. Hence the term “overfished.” Hence the mandated knee jerk reaction of the fisheries managers to not enough fish; cut back on fishing. What of other factors? They don’t count. It’s all about fishing, because fishing is all that the managers can control; it’s their Maslow’s Hammer.
