SEAMAP Real-time Plots for the year 2019
Week 1
Below is the first preliminary data summary for the 2019 SEAMAP Summer Shrimp/Groundfish Survey in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This week's summary includes sampling from June 1-11 by Mississippi and Alabama on the vessel Tommy Munro, Florida on the vessel Tommy Munro, and NMFS on the Oregon II. Catch data were taken with a 40-ft trawl.
Plotted catch rates have been converted to pounds per hour for a 40-ft trawl. Shrimp counts are heads-on. The squares on the charts are 10-minute grids. The number in each grid square is the average catch or count from all stations (may be one or more stations) that were sampled within a particular grid. The sampling stations were located randomly by depth zone.
The catch data indicated that the highest catch rate of brown shrimp was 134.3 lb/hr in 14 fm at 27° 29' N. lat. and 97° 03' W. long. The highest catch rate of white shrimp was 0.6 lb/hr in 9 fm at 30° 08' N. lat. and 88° 34' W. long. The highest catch rate of pink shrimp was 72.2 lb/hr in 12 fm at 26° 27' N. lat. and 97° 05' W. long. The maximum total catch rate excluding the three shrimp species was 1,183 lb/hr in 15 fm at 27° 17' N. lat. and 83° 40' W. long.
