40 Top Stories on topics like

sustainability, salmon
farming, blue���n tuna and country-oforigin labeling. He also compiles the
annual Top North American Seafood
Suppliers list, which will appear in the
May issue.
For this issue���s Top Story, The TwoWay Street, Jamie talked with ���shermen,
processors, importers and lawyers
regarding the countervailing duty
petition ���led by the U.S. shrimp industry
in late December. It���s an emotional
issue on both sides.
���I heard compelling arguments from
both sides regarding the effectiveness
and pitfalls of trade barriers,��� he says.
���Judging by the last attempt to stymie
shrimp imports, this latest effort seems
to be a bit of a reach, but it may work
on some levels. It���s hard to say ��� we���ll
learn more as the case progresses
through the courts.���
