Abstract

Statewide Pacific ocean shrimp, Pandalus jordani, landings totaled 4,992,233 lb, a record annual catch that was double the 1974 catch of 2,382,821 lb. Landings for Areas A, B-1, B-2, and C were 3.4, 0.3, 1.2, and 0.06 million lb, respectively. Catch per hour trawled by single gear vessels ranged from 360 to 2,443 lb per hour for the 4 areas. The outlook is for good 1976 seasons in Areas A and B-1 if the moderately strong 1974 year class is complemented by strong recruitment of the 1975 year class. Prospects for Areas B-2 and C are not as promising as those of other areas due to weak 1974 year classes. (20pp.)
