  • The Fishery for Northern Shrimp (Pandalus Borealis) Off West Greenland, 1970–2019

    The Fishery for Northern Shrimp (Pandalus Borealis) Off West Greenland, 1970–2019

    NOT TO BE CITED WITHOUT PRIOR REFERENCE TO THE AUTHOR(S) Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization Serial No. N7008 NAFO SCR Doc. 19/044 NAFO/ICES PANDALUS ASSESSMENT GROUP—November 2019 The Fishery for Northern Shrimp (Pandalus borealis) off West Greenland, 1970–2019 by AnnDorte Burmeister and Frank Rigét Greenland Institute of Natural Resources Box 570, 3900 Nuuk, Greenland Abstract The Northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) occurs on the continental shelf off West Greenland in NAFO Divisions 0A and 1A–1F in depths between approximately 150 and 600 m. Greenland fishes this stock in Subarea 1, Canada in Div. 0A. The species is assessed in these waters as a single stock and managed by catch control. The fishery has been prosecuted over time by four fleets: Greenland small-vessel inshore; Greenland KGH offshore; Greenland recent offshore, and Canadian offshore. Catch peaked in 1992 at 105 000 tons but then decreased to around 80 000 tons by 1998 owing to management measures. Increases in allowed takes were subsequently accompanied by increased catches. The logbook recorded catches in 2005 and 2006, around 157 000 tons, were the highest recorded. Since then catches has decreased to a recent low level in 2015 at 72 256 tons. In the following years, both TACs and catches increased, and the total catches was 94 878 tons in 2018. The enacted TAC for Greenland in 2019 is set at 103 383 tons and a TAC of 1 617 tons were set for Canada, by the Greenland Self-government. The projected catch for 2019 is set at 100 000 tons.
  • Shrimp: Wildlife Notebook Series

    Shrimp: Wildlife Notebook Series

    Shrimp Five species of pandalid shrimp of various commercial and subsistence values are found in the cool waters off the coast of Alaska. Pink shrimp (Pandalus borealis) are the foundation of the commercial trawl shrimp fishery in Alaska. Pinks are circumpolar in distribution, though greatest concentrations occur in the Gulf of Alaska. Ranging from Puget Sound to the Arctic coast of Alaska, the humpy shrimp (P. goniurus) is usually harvested incidentally to pink shrimp. In some cases, however, the humpy constitutes the primary species caught. Both pink and humpy shrimp are usually marketed as cocktail or salad shrimp. Known for its sweet flavor, the sidestripe shrimp (Pandalopsis dispar) is also caught incidentally to pinks; however, there are small trawl fisheries in Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska which target on this deeper water species. The coonstripe shrimp (Pandalus hypsinotis) is the prized target of various pot shrimp fisheries around the state. Coonstripe shrimp can be found from the Bering Sea to the Strait of Juan de Fuca while sidestripes range from the Bering Sea to Oregon. Spot shrimp (P. platyceros) is the largest shrimp in the North Pacific. Ranging from Unalaska Island to San Diego, this species is highly valued by commercial pot fishers and subsistence users alike. Most of the catch from the sidestripe, coonstripe, and spot fisheries is sold fresh in both local and foreign markets. General description: Pandalid shrimp can be characterized by a long, well-developed spiny rostrum and are medium to large in size. The body is generally slender and there are five pairs of "swimmerets" located on the underside of the abdomen.

Longhurst (1970:258) called it the principal product of the prawn fisheries of the northwestern Atlantic, being concentrated off Greenland, while in more recent years also more to the south fisheries for the species have started, e.g., in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Bay of Fundy and the Gulf of Maine (as far south as Gloucester, Mass.). There is an intensive fishery around Iceland and a most important one off the Norwegian coast. In the Kattegat and Skagerak it is fished for by Danish trawlers.
  • Pandalus Platyceros Range: Spot Prawn Inhabit Alaska to San Diego

    Pandalus Platyceros Range: Spot Prawn Inhabit Alaska to San Diego

    Fishery-at-a-Glance: Spot Prawn Scientific Name: Pandalus platyceros Range: Spot Prawn inhabit Alaska to San Diego, California, in depths from 150 to 1,600 feet (46 to 488 meters). The areas where they are of higher abundance in California waters occur off of the Farallon Islands, Monterey, the Channel Islands and most offshore banks. Habitat: Juvenile Spot Prawn reside in relatively hard-bottom kelp covered areas in shallow depths, and adults migrate into deep water of 60.0 to 200.0 meters (196.9 to 656.2 feet). Size (length and weight): The Spot Prawn is the largest prawn in the North Pacific reaching a total length of 25.3 to 30.0 centimeters (10.0 to 12.0 inches) and they can weigh up to 120 grams (0.26 pound). Life span: Spot Prawn have a maximum observed age estimated at more than 6 years, but there are considerable differences in age and growth of Spot Prawns depending on the research and the area. Reproduction: The Spot Prawn is a protandric hermaphrodite (born male and change to female by the end of the fourth year). Spawning occurs once a year, and Spot Prawn typically mate once as a male and once or twice as a female. At sexual maturity, the carapace length of males reaches 1.5 inches (33.0 millimeters) and females 1.75 inches (44.0 millimeters). Prey: Spot Prawn feed on other shrimp, plankton, small mollusks, worms, sponges, and fish carcasses, as well as being detritivores. Predators: Spot Prawn are preyed on by larger marine animals, such as Pacific Hake, octopuses, and seals, as well as humans.

    Shrimp Fisheries in Selected Countries 155

    PART 2 SHRIMP FISHERIES IN SELECTED COUNTRIES 155 Shrimp fishing in Australia AN OVERVIEW Australia is greatly involved in shrimp21 fishing and its associated activities. Shrimp fishing occurs in the tropical, subtropical and temperate waters of the country, and ranges in scale from recreational fisheries to large-scale operations using vessels of up to 40 m in length. Australia also produces shrimp from aquaculture and is involved in both the export and import of shrimp in various forms. Many Australian shrimp fisheries are considered to be extremely well managed and a model for other countries to emulate. Moreover, the availability of recent information on Australian shrimp fishing and management issues is excellent. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE The main Australian shrimp fisheries can be roughly divided by area and management responsibility.22 Ten major shrimp fisheries are recognized in the national fisheries statistics (ABARE, 2005). Summary details on these fisheries are given in Table 20. The nomenclature of the main species of Australian shrimp is given in Table 21. Some of the more significant or interesting Australian shrimp fisheries are described below.

    Sedimentology and Geomorphology of the Nort-West

    3. Review and Synthesis of Literature for the North West Marine Region 3.1. THE NORTH WEST MARINE REGION 3.1.1. Introduction The tectonic history, oceanography, late Quaternary evolution and surficial sedimentology of the North West Marine Region (NWMR) have been the focus of extensive research by various authors and government agencies at different temporal and spatial scales. The North West Margin1 is a tropical carbonate margin and has been since the Eocene (~56 Ma). The NWMR region includes notable geomorphic features and covers an extensive area of shelf, slope and abyssal plain/deep ocean floor. Geoscience Australia has contributed extensively to the study of the region and has published records on the North West Shelf (Exon, 1994; Exon and Colwell, 1994; Jones, 1973), Timor Sea (van Andel and Veevers, 1967), Sahul Shoals (Marshall et al., 1994), Exmouth Plateau (Stagg et al., 2004), Scott Plateau and Rowley Terrace (Ramsay and Exon, 1994; Stagg and Exon, 1981), Carnavorn Terrace (Heggie et al., 1993), Wallaby Plateau (Sayers et al., 2002) and Argo Abyssal Plain (Buffler, 1994). Key geomorphic features and provinces of the NWMR have been mapped using a consistent bathymetric grid of Australia’s EEZ (Heap and Harris, in press) and relevant scientific literature. On the basis of relevant literature, the NWMR is divided into four physiographic regions: the inner shelf; middle shelf; outer shelf/slope; and abyssal plain/deep ocean floor (Fig 3.1). These divisions are made on the basis of water depth and the geomorphic provinces described in a recent study on the geomorphology of the Australian margin (Heap and Harris, in press‐b).

    Vol. 78: 249–253, 2008 DISEASES OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Published January 24 doi: 10.3354/dao01867 Dis Aquat Org Short- and long-term dietary effects on disease and mortality in American lobster Homarus americanus Michael F. Tlusty*, Anna Myers, Anita Metzler New England Aquarium, Central Wharf, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, USA ABSTRACT: The American lobster Homarus americanus fishery is heavily dependent on the use of fish as bait to entice lobsters into traps. There is concern that this food supplementation is nutrition- ally insufficient for lobsters, but previous experiments reported conflicting results. We conducted a long-term feeding experiment in which 1 yr old American lobsters were fed one of 7 diets for a period of 352 d, a time that allowed the lobsters to molt thrice. The diets consisted of fresh frozen herring, a ‘wild’ diet (rock crab, mussel, and Spirulina algae), a formulated artificial diet for shrimp, paired com- binations of these 3 diets or a diet formulated at the New England Aquarium (Artemia, fish and krill meal, Spirulina algae, soy lecithin, vitamins and minerals). The lobsters fed the diet of 100% fish had higher initial molting rates, but within the period of this experiment all either contracted shell disease or died. Mixed diets resulted in higher survival and a lower probability of mortality. This research demonstrated a critical time component to diet studies in lobsters. Short- and long-term impacts of diet differ. In the long term, continual high consumption rates of fish by the lobsters promote poor health in all lobsters, not just those of market size.
