Abstract: Variation in the species and size composition of local and regional shrimp landings in uncertain and sometimes volatile ex-vessel prices paid to fishermen. A seemingly unrelated regressions price-modeling framework was used to forecast contemporaneous price effects of the composition of shrimp landings in closely associated market regions. Price responses to U. S. regional shrimp landings and to imports were significantly related to differentiated markets by species and location. Regional consumer income impacts on average ex-vessel prices for each species were also significantly different. Implications of shrimp price response differences in related local markets are also discussed.
