re: Shrimpers plan to tie up boats over dropping prices

Shrimp prices for certain sizes have been sky rocketing

16-20's and 20-30's are getting ridiculous. If this shite keeps up, you will be able to get prawns 6-8(ez peels) for the same price as 16-20's(p&d's) (numbers are per pound)

part of it, was Indonesia/Bangladesh had viruses in their ponds, so the American Shrimpers were able to bend people over.

Same shite happened when the East Coast was only ones pulling oysters up, they shoved it up the consumers arse.

When the Salmon farms in Chile found a cold virus in their farm raised salmon, it was almost 2 years before they were back at full production. Companies who sold Norwegian,Canadien,Faroe,etc were bending over the customers. 2$+ a lb the shite went. There was no shortage, just no Chilean(atlantic) salmon, so companies shoved higher prices on their other salmon onto the consumer.
