SEAMAP Real-time Plots for the year 2025
Week 3
Below is the third 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 19-23 by 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 28.3 lb/hr in 10 fm at 28° 50' N. lat. and 94° 53' W. long. The highest catch rate of white shrimp was 97.0 lb/hr in 9 fm at 29° 06' N. lat. and 94° 48' W. long. The highest catch rate of pink shrimp was 0.9 lb/hr in 10 fm at 28° 50' N. lat. and 94° 53' W. long. The maximum total catch rate including the three shrimp species was 1,488 lb/hr in 11 fm at 29° 08' N. lat. and 93° 42' W. long.
