Seafood Market Analyst was started by Dr. James L. Anderson. He has a worldwide reputation of excellence for his work researching seafood markets and international trade in Japan and North America. For more than 15 years, Dr. Anderson has worked in the areas of forecasting, seafood market research, natural resource policy analysis, and university teaching. In 1984, he was presented with the Outstanding Ph.D. Thesis Award from the American Agricultural Economics Association for his work on the economics of salmon ranching in the Pacific Northwest. Numerous papers authored by Dr. Anderson have been published in professional journals, and many more have been presented at professional meetings worldwide.

In 1994, he received the Research Scientist of the Year Award from the College of Resource Development, University of Rhode Island. In 1995, the editors of Agricultural and Resource Economics Review selected a paper he co-authored on salmon price forecasting and inventory management to receive the 1994 Article of the Year Award.
