GARCIA-NAVARRO: And I imagine it has economic implications for the fishermen and consumers.

RABALAIS: Yes, it does, especially for the shrimp fishery. The small shrimp are moving out of the estuaries and trying to go offshore right now. And they're pretty much hugging the coast because there is a large, low-oxygen water mass. And they can't move further offshore to grow to a larger size. So the shrimpers know they can catch lots of small shrimp inshore. But those don't bring a very good price.
And to get to further offshore, they need to spend more money on diesel and fuel and ice and food to catch the larger shrimp, which aren't going to be as plentiful. And with foreign imports competing for Gulf natural shrimp, sometimes there's not a good return on the larger shrimp as well.
