TAS ’14 Carol Schnaiter shared this photo of a basket of shrimp sampled during the summer groundfish survey in the Gulf of Mexico.

The catch on Thursday included a variety of shrimp. There are many different kinds of shrimp and a lot of them can be found in the Gulf of Mexico.... Some of the ones we caught were the Rose Shrimp (Parapenaeus politus), Roughback Shrimp (Rimapenaeus constrictus), Brown Rock Shrimp (Sicyonia brevirostris stimpson) and the Spiny Rock Shrimp (Sicyonia barkenroadi)... With surveys such as the one NOAA Ship Oregon II is conducting, [NOAA is] able to calculate the amount of fish, shrimp, and other organisms that can be taken out each year. It is similar to the hunting season we have for deer at home. This protects the industry and allows for the species to grow and not be overfished.Read the blog post
