HOUSTON — A smaller sum
mer haul for Texas shrimpers has
them worried about their indus
try's future.
In July, Texas shrimpers hauled
42 percent less shrimp than the
same time last year, the usual
peak season.
Strong foreign competition
could also foreshadow a rough
year ahead for shrimpers and
processors alike, say industry ob
servers.

"This crop year is going to
manifest itself through May of
next year, a full year of dilemma
for fishermen up and down the
Texas coast," said Mike Haby, a
Texas A&M seafood marketing
specialist.
He told The Houston Post the
shrimp season begins in May for
the new crop, when shrimp are
large enough to harvest.
Texas shrimpers landed 7.8 mil
lion pounds of shrimp in July, the
latest month for which data is
available, preliminary information
shows. That compares with 14.8
million pounds in July 1991, and
13.4 million pounds in July 1990.
When compared with an 11-
year average for the monthVjf July
that dates to 1981, the July 1992
harvest is down 42 percent, offi
cials said.
"This year, we're holding our
breath and hoping for the best,"
said Jim Sagnes of the Texas
Shrimp Association.
Much of the decline can be at
tributed to this year's persistent,
heavy rains that have flooded
coastal shrimp nursery grounds
with fresh water, said Margo
Hightower, a researcher for the
National Marine Fisheries Service.
For five weeks this spring, Co-
pano Bay near Corpus Christi was
completely fresh because of runoff
down the Mission and Arkansas

The closure is enforced to I

^There is no reason to think tl
rivers.
"This is the lowest July figure
I've seen since 1981, and 1981 is
the year we started the Texas clo
sure," said Hightower.
Prohibited by the closure is
shrimp production in the Gulf of
Mexico off the Texas coast be
tween mid-May and mid-June so
that smaller shrimp have a better
season is going to improve,"
Hightower.
Experts said Hurricane An
drew's impact on the
shrimping season is uncertain
Louisiana marine biologists hai
reported massive fish kills, will
an estimated 7 million saltwate
fish washing up on shore.
Prices to Texas shrimpers af
pear to be somewhat higher tltf
last year because of the poor to
vest. Among processors, Iasi
year's average July price paid It
shrimpers was $3.17 per pound.
For consumers, the harvest
shortfall may not have that mud
immediate impact. About 70
cent of the shrimp eaten in
United States is imported fromi
most all tropical and subtropical
coastal countries.
"Just because Texas shrimpec
are having a bad year it doesiit
mean retail prices are going
through the roof," said Haby.

DENTON — A new opponent

Armey also is battling questions
about out-of-state campaign con

contributions totaling $13,450
since March 1, $1,200 of which
came from friends who don't live

ARLINGTON — J.R. Flores earns $16 an hour on
an assembly line at the Arlington General Motors
plant. Ten miles south of the Texas border, Raquel
Herrera earns $55 a week assembling parts for GM
cars at a plant in Reynosa, Mexico.
The significance of that disparity isn't lost on Flo
res, who fears he could lose his job if a proposed
North American Free Trade Agreement is approved.
The uneasy feeling isn't new to the 31-year-old
Flores. He's been through major layoffs three times
in his 12 years, including an 18-month layoff in 1985
when GM shifted production of the El Camino to a
plant in Mexico, where the company pays lower
wages and faces fewer regulations.
"When we lost the El Camino, the price of the car
didn't drop," Flores told the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram in Sunday's editions. "The money just
went right into their profits."
Herrera, 20, like about 500,000 other Mexicans
working in about 2,000 U.S.-owned plants theft
works for a paltry salary by American standards
The GM subsidiary where she works, Delnosa, Si
de C.V., makes anti-lock brakes.
There would likely be thousands more suchjobsii
the free trade pact is approved.
Although Herrera and other workers complain
about the wages, most revel in the chance to work in
an orderly, air-conditioned factory.
"I like the people," she said. "No one ever
mad at me. When I work as a maid, you would nev
er know. The lady would be mad or the children."
GM corporate spokesman James Crellin in Detroit
did not immediately return a telephone call from
The Associated Press Sunday.
William B. Hargraves, managing director of the
Mexican plant, said the company offers workers
some of the best jobs in the country.
