Description

Abstract: As usual, the 2001 ocean pink shrimp season will be April 1 through October 31. However, the season promises to be unusually challenging for shrimpers and fishery managers due to the necessity of reducing the harvest of canary rockfish by shrimpers. This newsletter includes a summary of the 2000 season for your review, including catch, effort and market sample information. We also describe important groundfish regulation changes and discuss the rationale for, and implications of, severely restricting canary rockfish harvest. We strongly recommend that all shrimpers install finfish excluder devices in their nets for use in areas where canary are known to be. Also, after the short season and market changes experienced last year, it may be a good time for the industry as a whole to think about whether the current management strategy for shrimp is the most effective.

Purpose: Opening of 2001 commercial fishery (subject line of the pdf file).
