This study attempts to describe and quantitatively measure the
forces determining the level of consumption of shrimp and the
price level of shrimp in the United States. This is the first
study concerned primarily with the nature of aggregate demand
for shrimp. Professor John P. Doll of the Uftiversity of Missouri
is developing a quarterly model of the U. S. shrimp market focusing
on the ex-vessel and wholesale markets. Further work is
needed in more detailed studLes of all aspects of the world market
for shrimp and prawns.
