Description

Abstract: Ocean pink shrimp (Pandalus jordani) are distributed from San Diego, CA, to Unalaska, AK, (Butler 1964), with the commercial harvest centered off the Oregon coast (Zirges and Robinson, 1980). The shrimp fleet is quite mobile and vessels routinely fish and land shrimp in different states. In recognition of the regional nature of this fishery, the Pacific Fishery Management Council developed a draft Fishery Management Plan for pink shrimp in the late 1970's. The affected states are currently using this plan as the basis for shrimp resource management through mutually consistent state regulations. The Shrimp Resource Assessment project was initiated to supplement the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife's fishery monitoring activities and to specifically address the need for an interjurisdictional management approach for pink shrimp. This final report for project (#1-IJ-4) incorporates by reference activities covered in our 1988 and 1989 annual progress reports (Hannah et al 1989, Hannah and Jones 1990). Research results submitted for publication in peer reviewed journals are not reported upon in detail in this report. Reprints of the resultant journal articles will be forwarded as attachments as soon as they are available.

Purpose: The primary objective of the Shrimp Resource Assessment project is to provide scientific information and alternative resource use strategies for the management of the pink shrimp fishery resource. To accomplish this objective, we developed five specific annual tasks: 1. Collect and code shrimp fishery logbook data, match logbook information to official landing records, and summarize in a form readily useable in mathematical models, 2. Collect shrimp market samples dockside and compile age, sex, maturity, length, and weight data, 3. Analyze fishery catch data and biological market samples, 4. Provide fishery managers in neighboring states with reports describing location of catch, total catch and effort, catch per unit effort (lb/trip, lb/h, lb/vessel), and biological parameters of the shrimp caught in the fishery, and 5. Communicate fishery and research problems and strategies to other state and federal agencies and provide management recommendations for the entire harvest area.
