Seafood Report
Seafood- US Gulf of Mexico July shrimp landings were cut short by the Gulf Oil spill.  The shrimp harvest during the month was 62% less than last year.  2010 Gulf shrimp landings through July were estimated to be 38% smaller than the five year average.  Total US shrimp supplies, including imports, are projected to be down 4% from last year.  This could cause shrimp prices to remain above 2009 levels through the fall.
