Abstract: Food law protects consumers and supports environmental safeguards, but at what cost? We examine the claim that U.S. aquaculture is “over-regulated” using a dataset that captures regulatory restrictions across the supply chain. Results show a 400% increase in restrictions since 1970 and significant heterogeneity in state supply chain management.
