SEAMAP Real-time Plots for the year 2025
Week 1
Below is the first preliminary data summary for the 2025 SEAMAP Summer Shrimp/Groundfish Survey in the northern Gulf of Mexico. This week's summary includes sampling from June 2-10 by Louisiana on the vessel Pelican and NMFS on the vessel 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 113.5 lb/hr in 10 fm at 28° 47' N. lat. and 92° 16' W. long. The highest catch rate of white shrimp was 52.3 lb/hr in 12 fm at 27° 40' N. lat. and 96° 59' W. long. The highest catch rate of pink shrimp was 13.8 lb/hr in 14 fm at 26° 34' N. lat. and 97° 06' W. long. The maximum total catch rate including the three shrimp species was 1,112 lb/hr in 12 fm at 28° 59' N. lat. and 89° 45' W. long.
