Description

Abstract: Surveys for the pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) have been conducted by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) formerly Fish Commission of Oregon (FCO) since 1951 when the FCO began exploratory fishing for shrimp (Pruter and Harry, 1952). Work was continued by the National Marine Fisheries Service (then Bureau of Commercial Fisheries) into the early 1960's (Alverson, et al, 1960; Ronholt and Magill, 1961). These studies identified major fishable concentrations of shrimp off Oregon before and during a period of slow growth and development of the fishery. Systematic surveys were begun by ODFW in 1966 to estimate standing crop biomass and to determine distributional characteristics seasonally and geographically. In addition, the age and sex composition, fecundity and time of spawning and the degree of association of shrimp with bottom type were determined (Robinson, 1971). Since 1971, surveys have been conducted by the OOHJ on an annual basis to estimate standing crop biomass in attempts to index the abundance and availability of shrimp at the beginning of each season. The purpose of the 1979 survey was to obtain standing stock biomass estimates of shrimp off Oregon in the area between 35-145 fm from Cape Blanco (Lat 42°54' N) to the-Columbia River {Lat 46°15' N) and to determine age and sex composition and average size (count per pound) of shrimp. In addition, exploratory tows were made outside traditional boundary areas to determine if there were any shifts in concentration of shrimp and to determine the effects of these potential shifts on the biomass estimates.
