Description

Abstract: This newsletter provides a summary of Oregon’s 2023 pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) season including trends in the fishery, its stock, and information relevant to stakeholders. Oregon’s pink shrimp fishery is managed sustainably in cooperation with shrimpers, processors, and scientists. The 2023 shrimp season got off to a slow motion start, but fast-forward to June, landings and effort really picked up. Shrimp abundance was high, but market demand seemed low. 2023 catch volume was 44.1 million pounds, 12th highest among the fishery’s 67 year history. The ex-vessel value of the fishery was high (18.2 million USD). Price per pound was low, at an average of $0.42 per pound. Catch rates were the 3rd highest rate of all-time (971 pounds per hour for double rig vessels) due to a large holdover of last year’s age 1 shrimp and modern fleet efficiency.
