The rock lobster industry in Ceará has grown rapidly since 1955, when the United States and Europe demand for lobster has steadily increased. During the industry development process, lobster has become a major item in the export sector of Ceará, has created several jobs and has increased state income and government revenue. Nevertheless, the lack of a sustainable lobster-fishing programme and recent trends in the international market for this product, the relative economic relevance of this industry may be at stake. This work contributes through the use of econometric techniques, cointegrating and error-correction model to explore the behavior of the export of cearense lobster for the North American market, the destination of approximately 90% of exports of this crustacean. The model results indicated that the amount of lobster Ceará exported to the U.S. is more sensitive to changes in income than in the price.
