  • State of Shrimp
    State of South Carolina’s Penaeid shrimp Coastal Resources The Resource The most valuable fi shery in the southeastern United States is the harvest of penaeid shrimp. In South Carolina and Georgia, this fi shery is comprised of two species, the white (Litopeneaus setiferus) and brown (Farfantepenaeus az- tecus) shrimps, with white shrimp dominating catches. Pink shrimp (F. duorarum) also occur but are a minor component of commercial catches in SC. Along the Atlantic coast, the brown and pink shrimp comprise the bulk of the commer- cial harvest in North Carolina, but are proportionately less important in South Carolina and Georgia. Brown shrimp landings are similar in South Carolina, Georgia, and along Florida’s east coast. Pink shrimp landings are substantial only in Florida among these three states (Table 1). This Figure 1. The three species of commercially important disparity in the geographic distribution of pink shrimp is penaeid shrimp that occur in South Carolina. due at least in part to the presence of seagrass beds in North Carolina and Florida, which serve as primary nursery areas Shrimp is South Carolina’s principle fi shery, with estimated for juvenile pink shrimp.
