The information presented in this booklet has been compiled from several
sources to best illustrate many aspects of the shrimp fishery in past years.
The material is presented in charts and graphs to give the reader a quick and
easy reference for trends occurring in the shrimp fishery. A brief narrative
is provided at the beginning of each of the following sections: (1) shrimp
species, (2) shrimping seasons in inshore and offshore waters, (3) shrimp
size, (4) shrimping effort, (5) participation in the commercial shrimp
fishery, (6) recreational shrimping, and (7) shrimp supply and processing.

Shrimp fishing began in Alaska over 50 years ago. Recently the annual
domestic catch has been as high as 40 million pounds. Japanese and Soviet
Union fishermen operating in Alaskan waters have caught as much as 70 million
pounds annually in recent years. The five commercially important shrimp of
Alaska belong to the family Pandalidae; the most important is the pink shrimp,
Pandalus borealis. The complicated life histories of these shrimp are all
similar. The shrimp develop first as males and after several years transform
to females, which they remain for the rest of their lives. United States
fishermen use otter trawls, beam trawls, and pots, and deliver their catch to
ports in Alaska; foreign fishermen use larger otter trawls and process the
catch at sea. The Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the Bureau of
Commercial Fisheries are studying the shrimp. They are sampling the
commercial catch, trying to improve the product, and conducting exploratory
fishing and biological research.

Although marine resources are jointly shared by many user groups,
commercial fishermen are primarily to blame for the overfishing of all fish
stocks. If shore side development was banned and all wetlands returned to
their pristine condition, commercial fishermen could still harvest all the
fish in the sea.

Black Hagfish, E. deani: The Oregon Fishery and Port Sampling
Observations, 1988-92." Marine Fisheries Review, 55(4):19-30.
In 1988, the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife began sampling and
monitoring the development of a new fishery for Pacific hagfish, and black
hagfish. Hagfish landings by Oregon trap vessels have ranged from 11,695 kg
in 1988 to 340,774 kg in 1992. Whole frozen fish were shipped to South Korea
