Note: In addition, a small amount ( tons) of fresh or iced shrimp from the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific were exported to the United States; and small amounts (0. 1 tons) of dried shrimp were exported to the United States, Great Britain, and Guatemala. Values converted at rate of pesos equal US$1. In the Carmen-Campeche area it is reported that an aver- age skipper earns pesos a month (US$272); an average engineer 2,350 pesos (US$188); an average winchman 1,850 pesos (US$148); and an average cook 1,350 pesos (US$108). An average skipper is reported to earn between 3,500 and 4,000 pesos (US$280-320) a month at SaUna Cruz and between 4,000 and 4,500 pesos (US$320-360) from Mazatlan north.

West Coast: Penaeus stylirostris; P. vannamei: P. californiensis; and P. brevirostris.
