SEAMAP Real-time Plots for the year 2019
Week 2
Below is the second 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 10-17 by 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 100.2 lb/hr in 12 fm at 28° 20' N. lat. and 96° 06' W. long. The highest catch rate of white shrimp was 112.0 lb/hr in 8 fm at 29° 18' N. lat. and 94° 26' W. long. The highest catch rate of pink shrimp was 12.9 lb/hr in 3 fm at 27° 11' N. lat. and 82° 31' W. long. The maximum total catch rate excluding the three shrimp species was 2,500 lb/hr in 8 fm at 29° 11' N. lat. and 94° 15' W. long.
