Neither, it's the free market, our high population, and demand for shrimp.
I take it you've never been to one of the Hundreds of Buba Gump seafood restaurants? These just are your average quaint out of the way simple eateries. These places are strategically placed, anywhere there is a Theme park, large busy upscale shopping mall or waterfront.
They have over 1200 seats, and have a line out the door from the time the open to the time they close. Oh sure you can cop out and say "Free market" and all that if you want too.
In 2010 the shrimp harvest from the gulf was 177 million pounds valued at $340 million dockside (meaning discounted wholesale value).
It looks like there are about 40 of those Bubba Gump restaurants. I doubt they account for more than about 3 million pounds of that shrimp harvest. Probably way less, because even though their name is bubba gump, everyone is not eating shrimp there.
