SHRIMP: THE ENDLESS QUEST FOR PINK GOLD

fishermen to use an electronic vessel monitoring system that puts out a signal when they’re approaching the Oculina banks or other closed areas. The signal is uploaded to a satellite, which is tracked by NOAA Fisheries technicians. It warns the boats that they are approaching a closed area. If the fishing boat continues, the Coast Guard is notified and dispatched.

Across a continent from the Florida rock shrimp grounds, we stepped aboard Bruce Gillespie’s 26-foot-long Commander sports vessel to head out on a prawning expedition from Courtney, British Columbia. Unlike the boom-and-bust rock shrimp experience, a more sustainable fishery developed in the Pacific Northwest for seven species of the cold-water shrimp and prawns in the family Pandalidae.

After days of gloomy, cold wet rain, the rising sun was ptg

indeed a warm sight. For a few moments, the inland sea was pearly white with the early morning light. Seagulls flew across the skies or perched on the water, waiting for fish to come up.

We watched the sun rising over the mountains, bathing the shoreline in light, bringing out the fall colors of festive and bright yellow leaves, and chartreuse green. The scenery dominated in this place of commercial and sports fishing, where aquaculturists grew clams and oysters in rafts, sea lions climbed on them to sun in the afternoon, and First Nation (Native American) fishermen set their gill nets to catch chum salmon. We were after spot prawn ( Pandalus platyceros), which is the largest of the pandalid, or northern pink shrimp.

Its geographic range extends from Southern California up to Alaska’s Aleutian Islands and around to the Sea of Japan. The spot prawn fishery began in California back in the 1930s, Download at Boykma.Com
