Situation and Outlook of the US Aquaculture Industry2000 - 2001 Dr. Terry Hanson Mississippi State University Department of Agricultural Economics
Presentation • World trends • National • consumption • species & facilities • Highlight on Catfish Industry • Short- and Long-Term
Aquaculture is: - farming of aquatic organisms - intervention in the rearing process to enhance production - ownership of the stock being cultivated

Average Fresh and Frozen Catfish Product Price Received by Processors, 1999 - July 2001
Catfish Industry Issues • Low catfish prices for producers • Increasing production costs • EPA effluent discharge regulations • Other issues affecting production costs
Low Catfish Prices Received by Producers • Why? • Viet Namese frozen fillet imports increasing • On-farm inventories up • Full freezers at processing plants • Economic uncertainty • Stagnant per capita consumption
Catfish Price Paid to Farmer, $/lb 25-year avg
Catfish Price Paid to Farmer, $/lb 10-year avg 25-year avg
Catfish Price Paid to Farmer, $/lb 5-year avg 10-year avg 25-year avg
Catfish Price Paid to Farmer, $/lb 5-year avg 10-year avg 25-year avg 2001 price
Average 2001 prices* are: • $0.09/lb less than 5-year average • $0.06/lb less than 10-year average * through September 2001, not adjusted for inflation (nominal prices)
Catfish Price Paid to Farmer, $/lb 2000 price $0.12 per lb less in Sept. 2001 than in 2000 = -16% 2001 price
Lower Price Received by Farmer& Net Returns • Cost of production: • $0.60 - $0.72 / lb • Present price of $0.62 / lb => • Loss for less efficient farmers • Very low profit for efficient farmers

How have imports affected the price of frozen catfish fillets?Frozen Catfish Fillet Prices 1999 - 2001
Industry Response to Imports • Legislation • “Country of Origin” labeling • Removal of Channel Catfish images on import packaging • Seek to have ‘Catfish’ name removed from non-Ictaluridae fish species • Advertising • Concentrate on strict US safety and health standards • Legal • Anti-dumping case?
