Abstract
This paper describes the extreme environmental consequences resulting from the production of shrimp, both via aquaculture and through trawling the ocean floor. It also outlines some policy suggestions to limit the environmental damage caused by this industry.
From the Paper
"When ponds stop producing, there are generally no attempts whatsoever to reconstruct the landscape that existed before their installation. In the economically constrained areas where most of these farms are located, it is simply not economically feasible for the average farmer to do anything else, and as a result, an inordinate amount of completely unproductive land is left in the wake of the ponds. From 1985-1995 alone, 150,000 hectares of land previously used for shrimp farming worldwide was abandoned, and indications are that abandonment rates are rapidly rising (Gujja, Finger-Stich 1996). This land remains wholly unproductive for 20-30 years on average, often leading to collapses of local economies and extreme hardship for residents (Gujja, Finger-Stich 1996)."

Abstract
This paper discusses how perhaps no other aquatic species contributes to oceanic ecology like the brine shrimp. It looks at how brine shrimp is a form of zooplankton, how it is versatile in its physical and chemical characteristics, and how its hardiness and survivability make it very special for preservation. It also looks at how it is mainly sold for home aquariums because of the almost chameleon-like range of colors it can adopt based on its food intake.
From the Paper
"Environmental factors contribute greatly to the physical characteristics of brine shrimp. Under normal circumstances, they live almost entirely on the photosynthetic green algae, Dunaliella. The oxygen content in the water determines their physical appearance, which is a direct consequence of what they can consume (depending on oxygen content in the water). With a good oxygen supply, the artemia are a pale pink or yellow. In an abundant supply of green algae, they take on a greenish hue. If there is a low oxygen level in the water with large amounts of organic matter, or a high amount of salinity from evaporation, the artemia will feed on bacteria, detritus and yeast cells, but no algae. It is under these conditions that they produce hemoglobin and look red or orange in color."

The Shrimp Industry, 2004.
An analysis of protectionism in the American shrimp industry.

Abstract
This paper discusses whether the shrimp industry tariffs against imports are fair or foul play. The paper contends that this special tariff protection against shrimp brought into the American market from Vietnam, China, Thailand, Ecuador, Brazil, and India carries unfortunate consequences for U.S. trade relations with Vietnam and other developing nations.
From the Paper
"The U.S. shrimp industry - specifically, The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) - has won a series of major victories in their battle to receive special tariff protection against shrimp brought into the American market from Vietnam, China, Thailand, Ecuador, Brazil, and India.
In February, 2004, the United States' International Trade Commission ruled that the six countries mentioned in the first paragraph had "injured the domestic shrimp industry" by "dumping" their produce on the American market, according to an article in the Economist (July, 2004)."

Personal Images in Society, 2002.

Abstract
Current society is one where body image or looks is central to self image. Movies, television, beauty products, diet programs and exercise programs are all reminders of this. Every person in society is haunted by the image of what they should look like. This paper focuses on three essays, each which argue something different about the impact of our need to look a certain way. Alverez?s shows what happens when a person cannot obtain the ideal look society dictates. Trudeau?s shows that even if the ideal is attained, the impact on the person lingers while also showing that it is not only an issue for women. Finally, Kula shows how companies like Victoria?s Secret project these images and make profit by fooling women into believing they can be the ideal. This paper considers these essays and the impact of body image and shows how living up to an ideal set by society impacts on everyone?s life, whether or not that ideal can be attained. The writer concludes that the end result of this is low self-esteem for all individuals, even if some of those ideals can be attained.
From the Paper
"1. The Alvarez family?s ritual of watching the Miss America pageant is so important to Alvarez and her sisters because it represents what they could be. The Alverez?s come from a culture where women can only be wives and mothers. The Miss America pageant represents that in America, they can aspire to more than that. The Miss America pageant also represents what it means to be American, something the Alverez sisters are trying to find out so they can fit into their new environment."

Ingredient in Spring Rolls, 2005.
This paper tracks the ingredient origins for spring rolls.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 6 sources, $ 26.95

Abstract
This paper explains that the most important ingredients in spring rolls are Chinese transparent noodles, crab meat, small onion, lean ground pork, shrimp paste and egg roll skins. The author points out that these ingredients were originally produced in China, recent trends in globalization have meant that it is possible if not more common to obtain these ingredients from all over the world. The paper relates the difficulty of obtaining food origin information and the need to use websites instead of academic sources.
From the Paper
"The most important ingredients in spring rolls are Chinese transparent noodles, crab meat, small onion, lean ground pork, shrimp paste and egg roll skins. Although all of these ingredients were originally produced in China, recent trends in globalization have meant that it is possible if not more common to obtain these ingredients from all over the world. Globalization greatly clouds the picture when ingredient origins are being studied."

WTO and Environmental Protection, 2004.
An examination of how existing WTO rules deal with environmental protection and how they have been interpreted in dispute settlement.

Abstract
This paper examines how the interpretation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules in dispute settlements has shown both the limits and scope of how a rule-making body, with a legacy of compromise and negotiated outcomes, deals with environmental protection. It spells out the WTO position on the trade-environment linkage and then reviews the key provisions negotiated under the WTO framework that relate to environmental policies. Next, it details the scope and limit of these rules by analyzing a sample of environmental cases interpreted in the WTO dispute settlement body (DSB). These include the tuna-dolphin, shrimp-turtle, reformulated gasoline, and asbestos cases. It also looks at how the WTO rules compare to those established under other Multilateral Environmental Agreement (MEAs) and how this relationship is significant as it highlights limits.
From the Paper
"The preamble to the Marrakesh Agreement that establishes the WTO has referred to the importance of working towards sustainable development. The Members have recognized that "their relations in the field of trade and economic endeavor should be conducted with a view to....protect and preserve the environment and to enhance the means for doing so in a manner consistent with their respective needs and concerns at different levels of economic development" This statement contains an example of the legacy of compromise and the result of negotiated outcomes in the WTO. In the case of environmental protection there is a compromise of "sustainable development" embedded in the WTO Agreements and mandates that gives leeway to "creative ambiguities"."

A Survey of Algae Species Used in Artemia Culture, 2002.

Abstract
An insight into the history of Artemia cultivation (shrimp production) including an explanation of different types and analysis of the ideal conditions for their breeding.
From the Paper
"Prior to 1950 mariculture involved trapping baby fish and shrimps during high tides in ponds with gates built on mudflats. Many years of research have led to improved and more efficient systems. Now, most oyster, mussel, shrimp and seaweed culture are of semi-intensive type. This has been accomplished by artificial breeding of superior stock. Artificial feed has been developed to maximize health and growth. Many improvements have been made in the health and management of shrimp and other cultured species (FAO, 1999). This has been largely due to an increasingly larger demand. In 1997, approximately 50% of all mariculture is preformed by way of mudflat culture in which a building is built in a pond in a mudflat. This is used for artemia as well as fish (FAO, 1999). "
