This survey gathered and analyze economic data from seafood processors throughout the states in the Gulf region. The survey sought to collect financial variables related to the firms market value, indebtedness, sales revenues, and selected itemized expenditures, plus procurement and distribution information. The basic unit of analysis was a seafood processing firm that performed some level of packaging, product modification, and other transformative process beyond harvesting seafood or acting as a first receiver in the seafood value chain. The population of seafood processing firms included all firms participating in the NMFSs annual survey of seafood processors for the baseline study year of 2009, a year specifically selected as a period that might serve as a representative year for business performance purposes. The survey was conducted in-person on location.
