Seafood Report

Seafood- November US Gulf of Mexico shrimp landings were 13.9% greater than a year ago.  Speculation is that US shrimp landings could be larger next year due to the significant decline in fuel prices.  Still, the trade is likely concerned with shrimp demand for the upcoming year due to the challenged US economy.  The shrimp markets are relatively weak.
