Why, we might ask. is the price of shrimp still high when North Carolina is having its best shrimp harvest in more than 30 years? Indeed, North Carolina shrimpers have brought almost II million pounds of shrimp to the docks through October this year. And, with such a mild autumn, the harvest still continues. In the record year, 1953, 14.6 million pounds of shrimp were caught in North Carolina waters. Each year the North Carolina shrimp harvest depends a lot on environmental conditions during the spring when young shrimp are growing in the siiuiiow cstuarine nursery areas. If it is a rainy season and runoff dilutes the salt content of the water, and if temperatures are too cool, the shrimp harvest that year is diminished. Hcgardlcss of environmental conditions, "Tarheel shrimp lovers have to understand th:it shrimp are an international commodity like soybeans, wheat, or corn," said Joseph McClees, chief of seafood development, North Carolina Division of ? 1 sjfl *?

II nvi hi v <ii iiiiiui <11 v uiu? d auidii amount of the world shrimp catches." More than 60% of the shrimp eaten in the USA is imported, McClees said. For example, in one recent week, 13 countries imported 7.9 million pounds of shrimp into this country. In addition to shrimp caught in the wild, as it is in North Carolina, pondraised foreign shrimp are becoming more and more prominent in the world marketplace. "This volume many times adversely affects USA markets, just as the textile industry is l>eing adversely affected by products from Third World countries," Mei;ices said "The main problem facing the American shrimp industry is competing with cheap labor, cheap processing, and cheap distribution." Although very significant to the North Carolina coastal economy, with North Carolina commercial fishermen receiving more than $19 million for their catches through October of this year, the North Carolina catch is also small on the national ES I^HkEQBQlH PF21 J5pV>.
