How many billion pounds? ZERO billion pounds.



Close.

The quantity of shrimp imported in 2017 grew to 1.5 billion pounds, a significant 133.6 million pounds more than 2016 imports. Total shrimp import value increased 15 percent.

U.S. landings of shrimp were 283.3 million pounds

Shrimp remains the most consumed seafood in the United States, returning in 2017 to its highest consumption level of 4.4 pounds per person according to NOAA Fisheries’ “Fisheries of the United States” report released today.
