Specific suggestions to impivve current pi-actices are made thi'ouyhout. For exan^)le, the chapter on processing contains the reaultd of engineering surveys which provide plans for modal layouts for freezing and breading plants and canneries. An eco.somc analysis is made of the problems of marketing and price stability. The pix>ject was financed with funds made available by the Saltons tall -Kennedy Act, approved July 1, 195U (68 Stat. 376). iil ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Survey of the United States Shrimp Industry was compiled by staff members of the Branch of Economics, Bureau of Commercial Fisheries from sources of information and technical advice available, for the most part, from within the Bureau. The results of special research projects undertaken under contract arrangements with private firms, universities, and other government agencies to supplement these sources of infonnation are incorporated in this report. The survey originated under the direction and supervision of the late Dr. Richard A. Kahn, Chief, Economics and Cooperative Marketing Section, Walter H. Stolting, Assistant Chief, and Otto Rauchschwalbe, Economist. The economic analysis and the text are largely the work of Robert Hamlisch, Economist. The report was prepared for publication under the direction of Alton T. Murray, Economist. Charles A. Carter, Commodity Analyst, provided the references to the historical develop- ment of shrimp fishing and processing industries. Donald S. FitzGibbon prepared the graphs and charts; Evelyn H. Kramer and Saralyn V. Wolff assisted in the preparation of statistical tables. Stewart Springer, Chief, Branch of Exploratory Fishing and Gear Research, and James B. Higman of that Branch gave technical advice for the development of the chapters on fishing vessel construction 8uid fishing operations. Charles Butler, Chief, Branch of Technology; William H. Dumont, Assistant Chief, Branch of Statistics; and Stacey C. Denham, Fishery Marketing Specialist, were consulted on technical subjects. The A. C. Nielsen Company contracted for a sub-project on distribution, merchandising and consumer preference; the University of Miami, at Coral Gables, Florida, for primary marketing; Harwell, Knowles and Associates, for vessel efficiency; the Federal Trade Commission, for fishing vessel and processing plant costs; First Research Corporation of Florida, for processing plant efficiency and for time and motion studies of fishing operations. Lawrence W. Strasburger, Consultant, reviewed the manuscript, particularly the chapters concerned with processing. All figures were prepared by United States Fish and Wildlife Service personnel, except those specifically credited. iv PREFACE Discovery of new fishing grounds, e:q3anding markets, and the increase in the size of the fleet have contributed to the drainatic grovrth of the shrimp industry within the past decade. Currently, the shrimp fishery is the most important in the United States measured by the value of landings. Moreover, the shrirrp processing industries and distributive channels have also greatly expanded their facilities and the volume and variety of shrimp products reaching the national market during the past decade. The period of growth and expansion of the shrimp industry v;as marked by occasional setbacks and periods of marketing doldrums. It was during these periods that some of the basic problems of this industry were revealed as pitfalls to be avoided in the future. Fortu- nately, none of these basic problems appear insoluble. Rather the shrimp industry's general welfare is related mainly to the solutions of a lot of little problems —all of them concerned with increasing the efficiency of operations at all levels and thus effecting cost savings in shrimp production, processing, and distribution. Survey of the United States Shrimp Industry examines all phases of the fishery, vessel construction, operation, and gear used in fishing, production costs, the physical layout and efficiency of processing plants, packaging, distribution, and marketing. Every effort has been made throughout the survey to provide specific suggestions and recommendations for improving current practices. Volume I of this repor-t contains the first five chapters which deal with production and processing, Volurae II contains the last four chapters, three of which deal with marketing and the last chapter contains a summary of conclusions and recommendations. Survey of the Shrimp Fisheries of Central and South America and Foreign" Shrimp Fisheries other than Central and South America referi'ed bo in the text have been published as Special Scientific Report—Fisheries No. 235 and No. 25I4, respectively.

  • Sea Foods Can Make You Live 10 Years More…
    SEA FOODS CAN MAKE YOU LIVE 10 YEARS MORE… FISH!!! When we hear this word, our mouth secretes saliva and makes us feel hungry. Most of us love sea foods and records state that sea foods are being a staple food since ancient times. We take immense pleasure in revealing the secrets about sea foods. Seafood is any form of sea life regarded as food by humans, prominently including fish and shellfish. There are many types of seafood which includes cockle, cuttlefish, loco, mussel, octopus, oyster, periwinkle, lobsters, scallop and many more. Fish is a staple food especially in coastal areas. China is the world’s top seafood consumer, followed by Japan and United States. In US, the most widely served seafood is shrimp, followed by salmon and tuna. Seafood provides essential nutrients to the body which includes vitamins A, B and D as well as omega 3 fatty acids. It is also a rich source of calcium and phosphorus. We were so much interested and the eagerness to know more about seafoods almost killed us, as it showered us with so many unknown secrets. We chose this topic to share what we have gained. It is a vast area which could swell our brain with so much information. We have touched only the surface of seafood. Hope this magazine will give you interest towards this topic and help you gain more information.

  • The Omega Factor
    THE OMEGA FACTOR Women are obsessed with avoiding every trace of fat but some is vital. The Omega factor is the key and you avoid these essential fatty acids at your peril, says Woman’s complementary health editor Michael van Straten. There are good fats, bad fats and essential fats. Trans fats are the worst and only found in manufactured artificial foods like margarines and are even worse for your heart than animal fats. The best are the liquid fats, rich in Omega-3 and 6 essential fatty acids. You need both but it’s the balance between them that’s important. Our ancestors’ diet provided almost equal amounts of 6 and 3 but modern habits provide twenty times as much Omega-6 as 3 that is a recipe for disaster. The Omega-6 fats come from cheap vegetable oils widely used in the food industry. GRANNY WAS RIGHT When granny insisted that eating fish was good for the children’s brains she was almost right. In fact the human brain needs the Omega-3 fats to grow and function so they’re essential during pregnancy, breast-feeding and infancy. Omega-3s from oily fish are now known to be a vital part of the way the brain transmits messages. Oily fish and seafood used to be a staple part of the diet, even in the poorest communities. London’s East End for instance was famous for jellied eels, cockles, mussels, winkles, potted shrimps, pickled herrings and even oysters. Maybe this was part of the reason for traditional Cockneys being so smart.

Team regional foods and cheeses with local beers and ciders for a truly distinctive offering. And remember to consider regionalising your children’s menu too. Think beyond the chicken nugget! The following menus are intended to give you some ideas for making your menu regionally distinct. This may be by including traditional dishes on your menu (and some are mentioned to get you going) or by increasing the emphasis of provenance on your existing menu. Why not mention the breed of sheep used for your roast lamb or the farm on which it was raised? What about mentioning the variety of apple you use or the name of your cheese producer? Specifying provenance on your menu will help make it more distinctive. Did you know £34 billion each year is now being spent on eating out in the UK?
