Bay Shrimpers Shift to Oysters for Higher Profits
Bay shrimpers adapt to oyster harvesting as season profits dip. Forest Priddy reports all four boats converted to oysters in Port Lavaca with oysters selling around 16 dollars a gallon, paid about 5.50 per gallon at the boats. Marine agent Joe Surovik notes a fair season outlook after cold spells. Oyster rules limit sizes and shelling, with a five percent mix of small and large oysters and a October to December window for shrimpers. Price stability and regulation influence the shift, while some crews stay with shrimp or move toward bait shrimp despite limits.
