re: Gulf Shrimp industry reeling from imports, low prices

Shrimp imports have killed the shrimping business up the East Coast many years ago and it's appears to just now be hitting the gulf coast due to today's inflation.

The question to answer is it the imports killing local shrimping or is it the high cost to run it as a viable business. I can't imagine how much a pound of local shrimp would have to cost to cover the expense to harvest it and then be able to support a family on the income left over.
