The text asserts that domestic shrimp demand satisfaction will rely on three factors: managing domestic supplies, finding new fishing grounds for the domestic fleet, and offsetting deficits with imports. It highlights that exploitation has neared potential, making these factors pivotal for future supply.
The Gulf spans about a thousand miles east to west and 500 miles north to south from the Mississippi Delta to Yucatan. Royal Red shrimp resources recently found in deep waters of the South Atlantic and gulf could boost domestic shrimp supply. The discovery prompted the U S Fish and Wildlife Service to expand its investigations to South Atlantic waters.
The opening of new fishing grounds has shifted the center of gravity of the fishery westward and toward distant offshore waters, altering traditional fishing patterns and access.
Geographic factors have long shaped the shrimp fishery and are likely to influence future development of the industry as well. The text stresses ongoing importance of location in defining production patterns and plans.
The article notes Washington state led deep water shrimp production off the Pacific Coast in 1958 and suggests Alaska waters hold even greater potential. It observes most domestic fishery resources lie in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, drawing more study to that region.
