Landings in other Pacific States amounted to 24 million 
pounds in Oregon, 9.7 million pounds in Washington, and 4.9 
million pounds in California. 
In 1975, for the fourth consecutive year, Alaska led 
the Nation in volume of shrimp landed. The greatest portion 
of the Alaskan catch was harvested in Kodiak waters and 
landed in Kodiak, making it the Pacific coast's number one 
shrimp port. 
In relation to other Pacific coast fisheries, the 
shrimp fishery was sixth in dollar value in 1972. More 
current data was not available. 
Products and processing 
Shrimp are processed into different combinations of 
the following major categories: 
--fresh, frozen, or canned; 
--whole, or headless (peeled or unpeeled) ; 
--raw or cooked; and 
--breaded. 
Specialty (burgers, creoles, cocktails, gumbos, soups, 
and dips), smoked, sun-dried, scrap, and meal product forms 
are also produced. 
The United States processed 297.6 million pounds of 
shrimp products in 1972, worth $417.8 million. Raw and 
breaded shrimp in fresh and frozen forms accounted for the 
greatest part of the volume and value of total production. 
Frozen shrimp, most of which goes to institutional markets, 
dominates sales. As the frozen shrimp market has expanded, 
fresh shrimp sales have accounted for a smaller share of the 
total market. As shown below, canned shrimp represented 
about 8 percent of production.
