| Abstract |
|
Aquaculture makes a substantial contribution to economic activity in Louisiana. The Louisiana pet turtle industry is a less well‐known aquaculture industry, which contributes substantially to economic activity, especially at the local level. A modified version of an input‐output model, constructed with IMPLAN, is used to evaluate the industry's impact on the state economy. The industry is estimated to generate $9.703 million in total output, $4.696 million in Gross State Product, $3.625 million in labour income and 882 jobs in the Louisiana economy. This impact would be expected to be pronounced in smaller towns. A recently developed use of the industrial chemical Vantocil could lead to the lifting of the ban by the FDA on the domestic sale of baby pet turtles. Such a development should result in significant growth in the pet turtle industry, which would in turn enhance its contribution to the economy of Louisiana communities.
