The Reveille
As Louisiana’s seafood industry rebuilds after previous hurricanes, a lack of rain and low Mississippi River water levels may impact the seafood industry, according to Director for Louisiana Sea Grant Julie Lively.
Lively works with commercial fishing species such as shrimp and blue crabs by developing value-added shrimp products to increase profit for Louisiana shrimpers. She said Louisiana has the second-largest commercial fisheries in the United States.
