Summary

As countries like Malaysia, China and Indonesia start consuming more shrimp than they produce, export supplies are going to be tight and prices are going to soar. That should lead to reinvestment and an increased output three to five years down the road. Cold water species of shrimps are cheaper than warm water varieties, but still cost more than prime steak or salmon. More buyers chasing fewer shrimp have driven all prices up over past two years. Production of tropical species may not increase in sufficient volume to meet expanding markets' needs. Groundfish picture generally remains bleak with Alaska pollock prospects especially dim. Icelandic's frozen seafood exports have soared but disaster looms for cod stock levels. Aquaculture in the Mediterranean sea is reviewed. A number of difficult issues continue to restrict free trade of fishery products among Mexico, the USA and Canada. But as tariff barriers fall and import permit requirements are simplified, more cross-border traffic in frozen seafood is quickly following.
