Long term supply outlook
• Global supply of pandalus on long term decline
• However year to year changes are variable
• Market concern is what is available today
• West coast shrimp governed by different factors
• Recruitment variable in short term
• Long term outlook for ocean regime shifts

Northeast Atlantic Catches stabilizing; Western Atlantic Declines will continue

Volume in Canada and on US West Coast have most impact on Oregon Shrimp
• Canadian exports to US are mostly larger size shrimp.
• Prices of larger shrimp are likely to be higher this year due to cuts in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
• Volume of US landings is still not known.
9
10-15% Decline expected in Newfoundland area 6
• 2018 biomass 86 K tons; at 10% exploitation quota would be 8600 tons vs 11625 tons in 2017
• Quota is not set, most expect 10-15% decline.
• Area 5 is mostly stable, mostly offshore shrimp
• Some industrial offshore production flowing to NL shrimp processing plants.
NL area 6:
10
Gulf will see big reduction of 35% to 40%
• Major reduction in Sept Iles and Anticosti
• Both areas land large size shrimp - 90-125 100-150
• Quebec also biggest seller of Canadian shrimp to US
Sept Iles Anticosti
Net result: higher prices for large size shrimp, less Canadian
shrimp to the US in 2018
11
West Coast and Oregon Supply
• West coast in low supply cycle
• Size trend may (??) be more favorable in 2018
• Lower volumes mean less exports, more domestic shrimp market share going to US customers

Prior declines in landings have not been reversed after 1-2 yrs

14
For 2018 volume could be similar to 2017; Size is questionable
• Shrimp report says survival of multiple year classes is moderate, suggesting a fishery on mixed ages and larger overall size.
• But the Fall Survey failed to confirm this, so fishery might open on age 0 and 1; smallest size shrimp
Forecast from annual
pink shrimp report

Summary
• Global landings stable for 2018
• West Coast Landings likely similar or slightly improved from last year.
• Changes may occur in size distribution
• Less large size Pandalus from Canada
• Possible (??) improved size on US West Coast
16
Cooked and peeled coldwater shrimp prices rose in 2nd half of 2017
• Lowest pricing for the year was last spring, just prior to the 2017 season.
• Prices recovered from mid-year.
• But spread between smallest and largest size increased substantially.

Size is important component of average price
• In 2017, market prices were lowest just at the time the new Oregon season was opening.
• Prices recovered in the 2nd half of the year
• The smallest size shrimp had the greatest price weakness, and the slowest recovery
• For 2018 size will be the critical factor in determining value, as no significant market changes are expected.
28
Macro Factors for Coldwater Shrimp
• Export markets will be less important for US producers
• More expensive Canadian shrimp will provide market opportunity for domestic shrimp.
• Size will still be a factor. Some users (especially of Canadian Shrimp) may drop sizes that are too expensive.
29
Recruitment outlook is moderate

Count per lb.
“we do expect count issues
could arise early on in the season,
depending on fishing effort.
Age 2 and 3 volumes are not
expected to be on par with recent years
based on the low catch rates at the
end of 2017. If age 1 shrimp become
the target of the fishery earlier,
count issues could arise”

Prices reflect both mkt demand and size

Summary
• 2018 will see a wider gap in value between 250-350 count shrimp and smaller 300-500 and 500-800 shrimp.
• Any changes in market pricing from 2017 are more likely to occur on larger sizes: 125-175, 150-250 and 250-350.
• Any strategy to maximize the size of shrimp harvested will return the most value.
33
US Market for Shrimp was very healthy in 2017
• The overall US market for shrimp was very healthy in 2017.
• Shrimp continues to be one of the best values among seafood products.
• 2017 saw record US imports of shrimp; consumption likely near record as well.
• Coldwater shrimp benefits from the overall buoyancy of this market.
34
Foodservice sales of all shrimp grew
Seafood Datasearch: NFI Global Seafood Market Conf
35
Sales of Coldwater Shrimp Fell
• Industry reports suggest Foodservice volume fell around 9%; likely due to lower harvest.
• At the same time, prices rose over 2016.
• Coldwater share of foodservice shrimp could be as small as 0.4%
36
Retail sales of warm water shrimp increased
Household penetration measures how many households make at least one grocery purchase of the product in a year.
Rising household penetration indicates higher sales.

One factor was a shift from crab to shrimp at retail

West Coast Shrimp equaled 1/3 volume of Gulf shrimp in 2017

to make money

This is the same chart but for cooked and peeled shrimp
Margins are lowering here also

Restaurant sentiment has been improving
45
Something will change in warm water shrimp market
• The volatility and margin charts show that something will have to change.
• Either overseas prices can decrease –
• Or US prices can go up.
• But when this might happen, or what direction it might go, is unknown.
• My own feeling is that further growth in global supply will bring down prices.
46
Conclusions • Stability appears to be the watch word
for 2018 in shrimp.
• Both coldwater and warmwater shrimp outlooks do not show anything pushing for significant change.
• Challenge for 2018 will be to increase the value of coldwater shrimp within their category.
– Two advantages are domestic production and an expected fall off in Canadian imports
