SEAMAP Real-time Plots for the year 2023

Final Report

Below is the final survey report for the 2023 SEAMAP Summer Shrimp/Groundfish Survey in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The survey report includes sampling from June 7 - August 10 by Mississippi and Alabama on the vessel Tommy Munro, Florida on the vessel Tommy Munro, Louisiana on the vessel Pelican, and NOAA Fisheries on the vessel Oregon II and Tommy Munro. 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.
