Tettey, E.Pardy, C.Griffin, W.Swartz, A.N.2010-02-152010-02-151983http://hdl.handle.net/1969.3/195129 p.Due to the inflationary trend in recent years coupled with fluctuating shrimp prices, the shrimp business has become a highly uncertain undertaking. The financial performance of a sample of the Gulf of Mexico shrimping fleet, operating out of the Texas coast, was examined over a 10-year period (1971-80). The results indicate that investments made in the early part of the 1970's performed better than those of the latter part.shrimp fisherieseconomicsfishery resourcesfishery economicsBook
