  • Shrimp Fishing in Mexico
    235 Shrimp fishing in Mexico Based on the work of D. Aguilar and J. Grande-Vidal AN OVERVIEW Mexico has coastlines of 8 475 km along the Pacific and 3 294 km along the Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp fishing in Mexico takes place in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, both by artisanal and industrial fleets. A large number of small fishing vessels use many types of gear to catch shrimp. The larger offshore shrimp vessels, numbering about 2 212, trawl using either two nets (Pacific side) or four nets (Atlantic). In 2003, shrimp production in Mexico of 123 905 tonnes came from three sources: 21.26 percent from artisanal fisheries, 28.41 percent from industrial fisheries and 50.33 percent from aquaculture activities. Shrimp is the most important fishery commodity produced in Mexico in terms of value, exports and employment. Catches of Mexican Pacific shrimp appear to have reached their maximum. There is general recognition that overcapacity is a problem in the various shrimp fleets. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE Although trawling for shrimp started in the late 1920s, shrimp has been captured in inshore areas since pre-Columbian times. Magallón-Barajas (1987) describes the lagoon shrimp fishery, developed in the pre-Hispanic era by natives of the southeastern Gulf of California, which used barriers built with mangrove sticks across the channels and mouths of estuaries and lagoons. The National Fisheries Institute (INP, 2000) and Magallón-Barajas (1987) reviewed the history of shrimp fishing on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It began in 1921 at Guaymas with two United States boats.

  • Shrimp: Oceana Reveals Misrepresentation of America's
    Shrimp: Oceana Reveals Misrepresentation of America’s Favorite Seafood October 2014 Authors: Kimberly Warner, Ph.D., Rachel Golden, Beth Lowell, Carlos Disla, Jacqueline Savitz and Michael Hirshfield, Ph.D. Executive Summary With shrimp, it is almost impossible to know what you are getting. Shrimp is the most commonly consumed seafood in the United States and the most highly traded seafood in the world. However, this high demand has led to many environmental and human rights abuses in the fishing, farming and processing of shrimp. Despite the popularity of shrimp, as well as the associated sustainability, human rights and environmental concerns, U.S. consumers are routinely given little information about the shrimp they purchase, making it nearly impossible to find and follow sound sustainability recommendations. Oceana’s previous studies have shown that species substitution, a form of seafood fraud, is common in the U.S. Last year, Oceana found that one-third of the more than 1,200 fish samples it tested nationwide were mislabeled, according to Food and Drug Administration guidelines. We have now turned our attention to shrimp, American’s most popular seafood, to investigate mislabeling as well as the information that consumers are given about the products they purchase. Consumers may wish to choose their shrimp more carefully for many important social and ecological reasons. For instance, consumers may wish to avoid shrimp caught in fisheries that are not responsibly managed, that have high rates of waste or discards, or that are associated with human rights abuses. At the same time, consumers may wish to avoid farmed shrimp due to health and environmental impacts.

  • Rvsd La Stone Crabs.Indd
    Artist Unknown LOUISIANA STONE CRABS By Jerald Horst In recent years, a small commercial recreational and fishery has developed for stone crabs in high- salinity bays across Louisiana. Stone crabs began to attract attention in the 1980s, when more of them began appearing in blue crab traps in coastal lakes and bays. In early 1985, LSU biologists conducted a study into the possibility of developing a fishery for them. Before that could occur, however, the great Christmas freeze of 1989 severely reduced the number of stone crabs in Louisiana’s coastal waters. Since then, stone crab numbers have increased to more than before 1989. Modest numbers are landed in some parts of the state for sale in the wholesale trade or for retail sales directly to the public. In some areas, numbers are high enough for recreational crabbers to target. The stone crab found in Louisiana is officially known as the Gulf stone crab, Menippe adina. It is very closely related to the Florida stone crab, Menippe mercenaria, but smaller, with some color differences. The Gulf stone crab has a dark brown body, compared to the tan or gray color of the Florida stone crab, and it doesn’t have bands or stripes around its legs like the Florida stone crab. The ranges of the two species overlap in the area of Apalachee Bay, Florida, where they hybridize. Gulf stone crabs seem to prefer slightly higher salinities than blue crabs, from full strength sea water at 35 parts per thousand (ppt) down to 10 ppt. They seem to prefer areas near or on oyster reefs, rock jetties or debris-cluttered bottoms, where they burrow in the mud for shelter, cold weather refuge and when molting their shell.

  • Assessment and Modeling of Whiteleg Shrimp Production in a Low-Salinity Recirculating Aquaculture System
    ASSESSMENT AND MODELING OF WHITELEG SHRIMP PRODUCTION IN A LOW-SALINITY RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM by Si Qi (Cindy) Yao A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science School of Environment and Sustainability University of Michigan August 2018 Thesis Committee: Professor James Diana Professor Lutgarde Raskin ii Acknowledgments There are many people to thank for their contributions and support that made this thesis research possible. I am deeply grateful to have been co-advised by Prof. Jim Diana and Prof. Lut Raskin, whose combined insights on aquaculture and water treatment guided my research in purposeful directions. Being part of two research groups was a great opportunity to share ideas across a diverse range of projects and learn from the experiences of fellow students with different perspectives. Operation of the pilot aquaculture system was possible with the help of undergraduate research assistant Lindsay Rasmussen, who was instrumental in assisting with system maintenance, shrimp handling, and water analysis. Two Doris Duke Conservation Scholar fellows, Citralina Haruo and Jannice Newson, made valuable contributions to setting up the pilot system early on. The undergraduate senior design team consisting of Harrison Addy, Michael Graves, Katherine Rouen, and Jeremy Solomon used their mechanical engineering experience to design and construct the pilot system. I am also thankful for the valuable support with lab operations offered by Sucila Fernandes, whose dedication to ensuring that proper conditions are maintained made her a great resource. Timely processing of shrimp deliveries was facilitated by the reliable communications from Jane Parish. Additional thanks to Tom Yavaraski and Nivea Vydiswaran for their help in the environmental engineering labs.

  • Asc Shrimp Standard Revision
    ASC SHRIMP STANDARD REVISION Revision of Current Metrics Background Analysis Document March 2020 Revision of current metrics – Background analysis document Shrimp Standard Revision Purpose The purpose of this document is to present the acquired data for the revision of the ASC Shrimp Standard v.1.1 and propose changes to the metric requirements where relevant. This document will be used for the decision-making process within the revision. Background The ASC Shrimp Standard v.1.1 is based on the anterior work of the Shrimp Aquaculture Dialogue (ShAD) and sets requirements that define what has been deemed ‘acceptable’ levels as regards the major social and environmental impacts of saltwater shrimp farming. The purpose of the ASC Shrimp Standard was and is to provide means to measurably improve the environmental and social performance of shrimp aquaculture operations worldwide. The Standard currently covers species under the genus Penaeus (previously Litopenaeus)1 and is oriented towards the production of P. vannamei2 and P. monodon. A Rationale document3 was produced as part of the ASC Shrimp Standard revision to evaluate the necessity to specifically include Penaeus stylirostris (Blue Shrimp), Penaeus merguiensis (Banana Prawn), Penaeus japonicus (Kuruma Prawn) and Penaeus ensis (Greasyback Shrimp) within the ASC Shrimp Standard. It was concluded that specific metrics for these species are not necessary and certification can remain on the basis of the metrics already contained therein for P. vannamei and P. monodon. Corresponding Metrics The ASC Shrimp Standard covers seven principles regarding legal regulations, environmentally suitable sighting and operation, community interactions, responsible operation practices, shrimp health management, stock management and resources use.

  • Stone Crab Menippe Mercenaria Contributor: Elizabeth Wenner, Ph.D
    Stone Crab Menippe mercenaria Contributor: Elizabeth Wenner, Ph.D. DESCRIPTION Taxonomy and Basic Description Photo: Southeastern Regional Taxonomic Center The stone crab is a true crab in the Family Xanthidae. The xanthid family of crabs is commonly called mud crabs. This is a highly diverse family characterized by having a body that is transversely oval or hexagonal and a broad front without rostrum. The last pair of legs is unmodified (Williams 1984). The shell of the stone crab is nearly smooth to the unaided eye and transversely oval with the front broad and notched centrally. The lateral margins of the carapace are divided into four lobes. The pincers are large and heavy, unequal in size and nearly smooth. The inside of the palm has a patch of fine, oblique and parallel striations. The walking legs are stout and hairy toward the end (Williams 1984). The claws of the stone crab are asymmetrical; there is a major or crusher claw and a minor or pincer claw. Only the claw of a stone crab is harvested and a legal size claw has a propodus base measurement of more than 70 mm (2.75 inches) (SCDNR 2005). In South Carolina, only the larger of the two claws may be taken (SCDNR 2005). The color of juveniles is generally dark purplish-blue, often with a white spot occurring on the inner carpus. Juveniles also exhibit three prominent white spots in the form of an inverted triangle on the carapace. Older individuals vary in color from brown to green on the anterior half of the carapace, with tan to cream coloration on the posterior half.
