Panel data analysis to forecast the nutritional values of crab species caught in the United States between 1950 and 2021

Abstract

Data from twelve distinct crab species collected in the USA between 1953 and 2021 were used in this investigation. By using the panel data analysis approach, estimates were generated on the data between 2007 and 2021 in light of the information gathered after gathering the nutritional values of the linked species. Based on the species of crabs that are cultivated or harvested, the purpose of these calculations is to ascertain the nutritional values of the crabs that will be available in the upcoming years. Knowing this is crucial because of the growing population and depletion of food supplies. The study's findings were compared with the actual values, and it was highlighted that it would be appropriate to estimate values that are closest to the actual values and investigate whether these estimates will be sufficient to fulfill the world's growing food supply.
