I don't think this spill is going to impact the crawfish industry.


You are 100% correct. I was thinking shrimp and typed crawfish.
Overall I think La will still be able to harvest most of their shrimp like usual, but you have to know that the slick power brokers are trying to convince distributors/stores all over the country not to take a chance with our shrimip.

Even before this oil mess I have heard of some shady LA shrimp packers taking foreign shrimp and slapping them in their own boxes and selling them as LA shrimp.

I heard a guy on the radio yesterday say that 75% of the seafood harvested in LA comes from west of the MS river. If that's the case, which I believe is, then it shouldn't be too bad.
