Shrimp Landings and Production of the State of Texas for the Period 1956-1959 with a Comparison with Other Gulf States

Abstract

A few years ago the United States Fish and Wildlife Service introduced a new, better, and more complete system of collection production statistics on the shrimp fishery. this program was carried on in collaboration with the various states. These statistics and some earlier ones collected by the Texas Game and Fish Commission were utilized in an assessment of the present status of the shrimp industry of Texas. We are concerned here with landings and production and not with price variations and other economic factors.
