ABSTRACT 

A  study  of  the  pink  shrimp,  Penaeus  duorarum,  on  the  Tortugas  fishing 
grounds  was  undertaken  during  1957  and  1958  to  provide  information  on 
the  nature  of  the  relation  between  the  size  of  shrimp  and  the  depth  of 
water  where  they  occur,  together  with  fleet  concentrations  and  degree 
of  discarding  of  small  pink  shrimp.  The  average  carapace  length  of  both 
male  and  female  shrimp  increased  both  with  depth  of  water  and  with 
northerly  distance  from  the  Florida  Keys.  Snnall  pink  shrimp  were  most 
abundant  from  September  1957  through  May  1958,  appearing  on  the 
eastern  and  southeastern  portion  of  the  grounds,  where  the  highest  try 
net  catches  were  made.  The  fleet  concentrated  there  during  December 
to  June  but  was  more  widely  distributed  during  the  summer.  Apparently, 
few  small  pink  shrimp  were  discarded. 


INTRODUCTION 

THE  FISHERY 

The  pink  shrimp,  Penaeus  duorarum,  sup- 
ports valuable  commercial  fisheries  off 
the  south  coast  of  Florida  and  the  Cam- 
peche  area  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  This 
species  is  of  recent  economic  importance, 
having  been  caught  in  large  quantities 
only  since  1950.  Little  is  known  of  the 
details  of  its  life  history  and  much  has  to 
be  learned  before  a  rational  conservation 
plan  can  be  devised  for  the  fishery.  The 
present  investigation  has  been  one  phase 
of  a  research  program  on  the  pink  shrimp 
and  its  fishery  on  the  Tortugas  grounds 
off  the  southern  end  of  Florida.  The  work 
was    supported    by   a  Saltonstall-Kennedy 


funds  through  the  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Com- 
mercial Fisheries,  Contracts  Nos.  14-17- 
008-7  and  14-17-008-23. 

The  Tortugas  shrimping  grounds  (fig.  l) 
are  roughly  rectangular  in  shape,  about 
60  miles  long  (east  and  west)  and  25  miles 
wide  (north  and  south).  The  eastern  corner 
of  the  grounds  is  located  about  12  miles 
north -northwest  of  Key  West,  and  the 
grounds  extend  past  the  Dry  Tortugas 
Islands.  The  depth  of  water  on  the  fishing 
grounds  ranges  in  a  gradual  gradient  from 
about  9  fathoms  on  the  east  to  about  25 
fathoms  on  the  west,  with  most  fishing 
taking  place  in  depths  from  11  to  19 
fathoms.  The  bottom  is  mostly  white  sand 
and  mud.  Some  outcroppings  of  rock 
occur,   esi>ecially  in   shallow  extension  of

the  Keys  from  Key  West  to  the  Dry 
Tortugas.  Although  shrimp  occur  outside 
the  regularly  fished  area,  fishing  is  diffi- 
cult and  hazardous  because  of  the  presence 
of  loggerhead  sponges,  coral,  and  other 
obstructions.  Small  clear  areas  are  to  be 
found  in  the  outside  regions  and  these  are 
occasionally  trawled  with  the  aid  of  a 
lighted  buoy  set  out  by  the  fishermen. 

The  exploitation  of  the  Tortugas  shrimp 
population  developed  rapidly,  drawing 
boats  from  older  grounds  in  Florida  and 
from  many  other  southeastern  and  Gulf 
States.  By  1951,  the  landings  were  over 
19  million  pounds  (heads  on)  and  approxi- 
mately this  quantity  has  been  landed  in 
each  succeeding  year,  except  1952,  when 
only  11  million  pounds  were  landed.  The 
catch  has  thus  been  maintained  over  9 
years  of  the  fishery.  This  does  not  suggest 
that  overexploitation  has  occurred,  but 
some  persons  in  the  industry  are  certain 
that  the  catch  has  been  maintained  only  as 
a  consequence  of  a  great  increase  in  fish- 
ing effort  coupled  with  the  use  of  small 
sizes  of  shrimp  which  were  formerly 
discarded.  Information  on  the  sizes  dis- 
carded   or    kept  is  difficult   to   obtain,   but 


there   is    a  greater  tendency  for  buyers  to 
accept  small  shrimp  in  recent  years. 


PURPOSES  OF  THE  STUDY 

The  principal  purpose  of  this  study  was 
to  investigate  the  relation  between  the 
size  of  shrimp  and  the  depth  of  water 
where  they  occur.  Fishermen's  observa- 
tions and  research  data  suggested  that 
pink  shrimp  on  the  Tortugas  grounds  in- 
crease in  size  as  water  depth  increases, 
but  details  of  this  relationship  were  lack- 
ing. A  second  purpose  was  to  investigate 
the  extent  to  which  fishermen  discard 
small  shrinnp.  A  wide  range  of  sizes  of 
shrimp  are  caught  in  the  trawl  nets.  The 
smallest  sizes  are  often  thrown  overboard 
with  the  vmusable  part  of  the  catch,  and 
the  extent  to  which  discarding  is  done  is  of 
importance  to  an  understanding  of  the 
fishery.  A  third  purpose  was  to  study  the 
distribution  of  fishing  vessels  on  the 
grounds  to  deternnine  whether  effort  was 
concentrated  in  certain  areas,  and  whether 
seasons,  weather,  occurrence  of  seaweed 
and  jellyfish,  or  other  factors  influence 
the  distribution  of  fishing. 


The  present  report  summarizes  the 
results  of  13  months'  field  observations. 
Several  factors,  such  as  weather,  mar- 
kets, season,  and  size  of  boats,  were 
expected  to  affect  the  results  of  this 
research.  As  the  work  progressed,  other 
factors,  unsuspected  originally,  were 
shown  to  influence  the  size -depth  rela- 
tionship and  the  distribution  of  fishing 
effort.  In  the  following  analysis  the  effect 
of  the  important  variables  on  the  results 
is  described,  and  where  possible  meas- 
ured. The  results  are  then  presented,  and 
their  significance  in  relation  to  the  man- 
agement of  the  fishery  is  discussed.  These 
data  cover  a  single  year,  and  one  that  was 
not  altogether  "typical."  The  tempera- 
tures of  southern  Florida  during  the  winter 
of  1957-58  were  extremely  low,  and  this 
may  have  had  some  effect  on  the  behavior 
of  the  shrimp.

METHODS  AND  MATERIALS 

VESSELS  AND  GEAR 

Data  were  gathered  from  catches  made 
by  chartered  commercial  shrimp  trawlers 
and  from  observations  made  from  airplane 
flights  over  the  grounds.  The  boats  used, 
the  Captain  Mack,  the  Danny  Boy,  and  th.e  Joanie, 
are  typical  "Florida -type"  shrinnp 
trawlers.  They  are  63,  55,  and  69  feet  in 
length,  respectively.  The  Captain  Mack  was 
used  from  September  1957  to  mid-April 
1958  (table  l).  She  was  then  sold  and  the 
Danny  Boy  secured  and  used  until  late 
September  1958,  when  she  was  acciden- 
tally rammed  and  capsized.  The  last  two 
cruises  were  made  on  the  Joanie. 


During  the  first  six  cruises  positions 
were  determined  by  the  radio  direction 
finder  on  the  chartered  vessel.  A  small 
portable  directionfinder  was  also  acquired 
for  use  in  case  of  the  failure  of  the  ves- 
sel's instrument.  During  subsequent 
cruises  the  dead-reckoning  navigation  was 
improved  by  the  use  of  a  portable  pelorus 
for  obtaining  more  accurate  visual  fixes 
on  navigation  aids.  Positions  on  the 
northern  portion  of  the  area  were  difficult 
to  locate  accurately,  owing  to  the  geo- 
graphical location  of  the  radio  stations. 
After  cruise  10  celestial  navigation  was 
used  to  supplement  the  radio  direction 
finder  since  fishing  is  carried  on  at  night. 

Depths  were  determined  chiefly  by  use 
of  a  fathometer.  During  the  first  several 
cruises  depths  were  checked  by  leadline 
soundings  and  by  bathythermograph  lower- 
ings,  and  the  fathonneter  was  repaired  and 
checked  to  correspond.  Fathometer  tapes 
were  nnarked  and  retained. 

The  gear  ennployed  in  sampling  con- 
sisted of  standard  commercial  trawls,  as 
described  by  BuUis  (1951)  and  Knake. 
et  al.  (1958).  On  cruises  1-5  and  7-15,  a 
90-foot  "two-seam  flat"  trawl  was  used. 
On  cruise  6  a  90-foot  balloon  net  was 
employed  to  avoid  loss  of  the  regular  net 
on  the  rough  bottom.  On  cruises  16-21, 
two  45-foot  "double-rig"  trawls  were 
used;  and  on  cruises  22  and  23,  two  50- 
foot  double -rig  trawls.  In  addition  to  the 
big  trawls  described  above,  15 -foot  try 
nets  were  used  regularly.  On  some  tows 
of  cruises  1-11  a  large  try  net,  measuring 
about  30  feet,  was  used  in  place  of  the 
main  trawl.  Descriptions  of  all  nets  used 
on  the  various  cruises  are  given  in  table  1. 

The  research  plan  provided  for  two 
cruises  each  month,  starting  in  November 
1957  and  ending  in  November  1958.  (Two 
prelinninary  cruises  were  made  during 
September  1957  by  Bureau  of  Commercial 
Fisheries  scientists.)  This  plan  was  ac- 
connplished  in  all  months  except  June, 
October,  and  November  1958  (in  which 
one  cruise  was  made  each  month)  despite 
the  unusually  bad  weather  experienced 
during  the  study  period.  A  total  of  23 
cruises  was  made.  Sampling  stations  are 
depicted  in  figure  2.  Fishing  was  done  at 
night  and  tows  were  ordinarily  limited  to 
1  hour  instead  of  the  usual  3  hours  nnade 
by  fishermen.

Note:     On  cruises  1,   3,   6,   8  and  9  large  try  net  of  1  3/4"  mesh  was  used  on  some  tows 
(sde  ^pendix). 


When  the  big  trawl  was  retrieved  the 
catch  was  dumped  on  deck.  The  large 
items,  including  sponges  and  big  fish, 
were  removed.  The  remaining  catch, 
including  shrinnp  and  small  fish,  was 
mixed  with  a  shovel  and  a  sannple  taken 
for  study.  A  constant  sample  size  would 
have  been  desirable,  for  statistical  analy- 
sis, but  was  not  feasible.  The  number  of 
shrimp  in  these  samples  varied  from 
about  40  to  about  200.  These  shrimp  were 
sexed  and  measured  to  the  nearest  0.1  mm. 
carapace    length.   This   measurement  was 


from  the  postorbital  notch  to  the  posterior 
edge  of  the  carapace.  "Size"  of  shrimp 
hereafter  refers  to  this  carapace  length. 
Appendix  table  3  shows  the  relation  be- 
tween carapace  length,  total  length,  and 
weight  of  female  shrimp. 

Shrimp  taken  in  try-net  hauls  were 
measured  if  more  than  20  but  fewer  than 
100  were  caught.  If  fewer  than  20  were 
caught,  they  were  not  measured,  but  were 
counted  and  sexed.  To  determine  relative 
abundance   of  shrimp,    counts    were   made

of  the  numbers  of  shrimp  caught  in 
standard  try -net  tows.  These  estimates 
were  begun  with  cruise  7. 


OBSERVATIONS  ON  FLEET  ACTIVITY 

The  fleet  concentration  has  been  ex- 
pressed in  terms  of  the  number  of  boats 
fishing  in  a  given  area.  This  information 
was  obtained  by  counting  boats  seen  from 
the  charter  vessel  on  each  trip  and  from 
airplane  flights  over  the  grounds.  Counts 
of  vessels  from  the  charter  boat  were 
made  at  the  time  each  drag  commenced. 
Boats  within  sight  were  counted  from  each 
side  of  the  vessel.  This  routine  was  car- 
ried out  in  cruises  1  -7.  After  cruise  7  a 
different  method  was  employed,  the  boats 
being  counted  in  various  sectors  at  any 
time  during  the  tow.  The  size  of  the  angle 
comprising  a  sector  varied  depending  on 
the  number  and  grouping  of  boats  visible. 
The  number  of  boats  seen  was  plotted  on 
a  chart.  As  much  care  as  possible  was 
taken  to  avoid  counting  a  given  boat  more 


than  once.  Maximum  range  of  visibility  of 
boats  is  estimated  to  have  been  8  miles. 
Fishing  is  done  at  night  in  this  fishery 
and  the  boats  were  located  by  their  lights. 
Out  to  a  radius  of  about  3  miles  the 
pattern  of  lights  is  clear  enough  to  dis- 
tinguish shrimp  boats  from  other  boats; 
beyond  that  distance  the  lights  blend  and 
possibly  vessels  other  than  shrimp  boats 
were  occasionally  counted.  Other  than 
shrimpers  there  is  little  night  traffic, 
and  few  false  identifications  were  believed 
to  have  been  made.  On  any  given  night 
only  part  of  the  shrimp  grounds  were 
covered  by  the  research  vessel,  so  that 
the  total  fleet  was  never  observed  at  one 
time. 

The  aerial  observations  were  made  on 
flights  out  of  Key  West  and  Marathon. 
Flight  patterns  were  arranged  to  allow 
observation  of  the  entire  grounds  within 
2  hours.  A  single-engine  airplane  was 
used  without  floats,  and  the  pilots  were 
understandably  reluctant  to  fly  far  fronn 
landing  fields  at  night.  Hence  flights  could 


only  be  made  when  conditions  were  favor- 
able, and  only  seven  flights  were  made. 
Boat  lights  were  counted  by  two  observers 
on  opposite  sides  of  the  plane  using  hand 
counters.  The  flight  pattern  was  arranged 
so  that  overlap  in  counts  was  minimized. 
Boats  tied  up  at  docks  in  Key  West  and 
Marathon  were  also  counted  during  the 
flights.  Complete  counts  of  the  boats  in 
the  fishery  each  night  of  the  flight  were 
obtained  in  this  manner. 


SHRIMP  DISCARDS 

Observations  of  the  amount  of  shrimp 
discarded  were  made  from  the  charter 
vessels,  from  fishermen's  logbooks,  and 
at  heading  houses.  Little  discarding  was 
done  by  the  fleet  during  the  period  of 
observation  since  virtually  all  sizes  caught 
could  be  sold.  However,  some  shrimp  are 
always  thrown  back;  for  example,  damaged 
shrimp  and  shrimp  that  have  recently 
molted  are  commonly  discarded  but  are 
usually  not  abundant.  "No"  discarding 
(meaning  no  conscious  rejection  of  pink 
shrimp  of  any  size  except  dannaged  indi- 
viduals) was  done  from  the  charter  vessels 
from  about  February  through  August. 
Before  and  after  this  period  some  of  the 
snnaller  sizes  were  thrown  away.  When 
this  occurred,  unselected  samples  were 
taken  and  the  whole  shrimp  were  recov- 
ered, counted,  and  measured.  In  addition, 
a  sample  of  the  heads  of  the  shrinnp  kept 
by  the  crew  were  recovered,  counted, 
and  measured.  This  permitted  an  estimate 
of  the  total  amount  of  shrinnp  discarded 
from  the  total  catch.  Occasionally  a  cor- 
rection had  to  be  made,  to  allow  for  part 
of  the  catch  which  was  iced  down  without 
being  headed.  This  occurred  when  the 
catch  was  so  large  that  time  was  not  taken 
for  heading,  or  if  the  shrimp  were  so 
small  as  to  make  heading  tedious. 

Two  circumstances  reduced  the  use- 
fulness of  data  on  discards  from  the 
charter  vessels,  hi  the  first  place  the 
captain  of  the  Captain  Mack  and  later  of  the 
Danny  Boy  had  a  market  for  small  shrimp 
to  be  used  for  fish  bait,  a  market  which 
was  not  available  to  most  others.  Per- 
haps, as  a  consequence  of  this,  he  kept 
smaller  shrimp  than  usual.  Secondly,  the 
hauls  made  by  the  charter  boats  were  of 
shorter  duration  than  usual  in  commer- 
cial practice,  resulting  in  smaller  catches, 
which  may  have  affected  discarding  prac- 


tices. Hence  the  data  on  discards  may 
provide  only  estimated  maximum  and 
mininnunn  discard  sizes. 


TREATMENT  OF  DATA 

Size  Distribution  of  Shrimp 

Female  pink  shrimp  are  larger  than 
the  males  and  a  sample  containing  both 
sexes  produces  a  bimodal  size  distribu- 
tion. The  sex  ratio  in  the  total  samples 
approximates  1:1,  but  there  is  consider- 
able variation  in  the  sex  ratio  among 
shrimp  taken  in  individual  samples.  Con- 
sideration was  therefore  given  to  the  use 
of  only  the  females  in  calculating  mean 
sizes  of  shrimp  found  on  the  fishing 
grounds.  This  would,  of  course,  describe 
only  half  the  population,  but  if  the  sizes  of 
both  sexes  have  a  linear  relation,  descrip- 
tion of  the  distribution  of  one  sex  will 
provide  an  approximation  of  the  size  dis- 
tribution of  the  other  sex.  The  average 
sizes  of  males  and  females  of  all  samples 
of  30  or  nnore  shrimp  of  each  sex  are 
plotted  in  figure  3.  All  sizes  and  all  depths 
sampled  are  included.  The  figure  shows 
that  there  is  a  linear  relation  between  the 
sizes  of  the  two  sexes.  Hence  the  average 
size  of  females  was  selected  to  illustrate 
the  size  distribution  of  shrimp  on  the 
fishing  grounds.  For  comparison  four 
diagrams  were  constructed  using  male 
shrimp  only. 

Sampling  Variation  from  Single  and 
Double  Nets 

While  this  study  was  vinder  way  the 
shrimp  fleet,  and  also  the  chartered  ves- 
sel, was  in  the  process  of  changing  from 
the  use  of  a  single  trawl  to  a  double  rig. 
To  determine  whether  this  had  an  effect 
on  the  sampling,  the  variation  of  mean 
lengths  and  sex  ratios  of  shrimp  among 
samples  was  analyzed.  This  also  pre- 
sented an  opportunity  to  check  the  trawl 
as  a  sampling  device. 

Repeated  samples  were  taken  from  a 
single  catch.  During  cruise  16,  the  catch 
from  tow  10  was  sampled  three  times 
and  during  cruise  17,  the  catch  from  tow  8 
was  sampled  four  times.  The  average 
carapace  length  of  males,  of  females,  and 
of  sexes  combined  are  recorded  in  table  2. 
The  numbers  of  individuals  measured  and 
the  sex  ratios  are  shown  for  each  sample.

The  mean  lengths  show  little  variation 
and  indicate  that  the  sannpling  technique 
provided  a  representative  index  of  the 
sizes  in  the  catch. 

Catches  of  nets  from  10  tows  of  cruise 
16  were  examined  to  discover  whether 
they  differed  in  respect  to  the  average 
size  of  the  shrimp  and  to  the  sex  ratio 
(table  3).  Carapace  length  differences  of 
male  and  female  shrimp  combined,  from 
port  and  starboard  nets,  did  not  exceed 
1.4  mm.  within  individual  hauls.  Neither 
net  consistently  caught  the  larger  average 
shrimp.  The  variation  in  sex  ratio  of 
shrimp  caught  by  the  two  nets  was  not 
extreme.  These  results  justified  pooling 
catches  of  the  two  nets  before  drawing 
the  samples,  or  drawing  them  from  either 
net. 

Effect  of  Trawl  Mesh  Size 

Ideally,  the  same  trawl  cod  end  should 
have  been  used  throughout  the  study; 
however,  trawl  nets  do  not  wear  well  and 
such  a  procedure  was  not  possible.  The 
nets  used  were  bought  as  2 -inch  stretched - 
mesh  manufacturer's  measure.  Because 
of  variations  resulting  from  the  manu- 
facture, preservation,  use,  and  other  fac- 
tors, trawl  cod  ends  can  vary  greatly  in 
average  mesh  size  (Medico,  1958).  This 
was  evidenced  in  the  present  study.  Cod- 
end  meshes  were  measured  at  intervals 
for  each  shrimp  net  (table  1 ). 

Graham  (1956)  found  that  the  sizes  of 
meshes  in  trawl  cod  ends  govern  the 
average  size  of  the  fish  caught.  This  has 
also  been  shown  for  shrimp  (Regan g<  aL, 
1957)  and  it  was  considered  necessary 
to  determine  how  the  different  sizes  of 
shrimp  trawl  cod  ends  might  affect  our 
results.  The  average  size  of  female 
shrimp  caught  by  the  main  nets  was 
compared  with  the  average  size  of  female 
shrimp  caught  by  try  nets  fishing  sinnul- 
taneously  (fig.  4).  At  the  top  of  the  figure, 
sizes  of  shrimp  in  catches  by  a  1  3/4- 
inch  mesh  try  net  used  for  the  first  half 
of  the  study  were  compared  with  catches 
of  two  main  net  cod  ends,  one  with  1  1/4- 
inch  mesh  and  one  with  1  3/4-inch  mesh. 
The  results  suggest  little  influence  by  the 
nneshes  of  these  two  nets  on  average 
female  shrimp  sizes.

most  of  the  remaining  time,  are  compared 
with  catches  of  four  main  net  cod  ends, 
including  the  1  3/4 -inch  mesh  net  used  in 
the  above  analysis.  The  results  indicate 
that  the  try  net  (1  7/8-inch  mesh)  caught 
a  somewhat  larger  average  size  of  shrimp 
than  the  main  nets,  but  that  the  size 
selectivity  of  the  nets  did  not  materially 
affect  the  average  size  of  female  shrimp 
sampled. 

Shrimp  Size  Isopleths 

Several  methods  were  considered  for 
the  analysis  and  presentation  of  the  data 
describing  the  size  distribution  of  shrimp 
on  the  fishing  grounds.  However,  the  data 
would  not  fully  satisfy  the  requirements 
or  assumptions  of  several  statistical  tests 
and  the  decision  was  therefore  miade  to 
present  the  results  graphically.  Diagrams 
have  been  constructed  showing  the  areas 
of  the  fishing  grounds  where  shrimp  of  a 
certain  size  range  occurred.  Isopleth 
lines  were  drawn  on  charts  of  the  fishing 
grounds,  joining  interpolated  points  from 
observed  average  size  of  female  shrimp. 
Standard  isopleths  of  2.5  mm.  head -length 
intervals  were  used,  the  smallest  being 
20.0  mm.    Data   from   successive  cruises

with  similar  distribution  of  shrimp  sizes 
were  pooled.  The  diagrams  were  con- 
structed from  data  presented  in  the  appen- 
dix. 

SEX  RATIO 

The  sex  ratios  in  each  sample  which  had 
at  least  30  of  each  sex  showed  no  marked 
difference  with  changes  in  the  size  of 
female  shrimp  (fig.  5).  The  ranges  of  sex 
ratios  for  each  cruise  are  shown  in 
figure  6.  The  mean  percentage  of  females 
varied  considerably  for  each  cruise,  sug- 
gesting that  either  there  is  grouping  by- 
sexes  on  the  grounds  or  our  sampling 
induced  variation,  or  both.  There  was  an 
indication  of  fewer  females  in  the  catches 
from  September  to  December,  while  during 
January  there  were  more  than  50  percent 
females;  there  were  close  to  60  percent 
females  during  July-September.

SIZE  OF  SHRIMP 

DISTRIBUTION  OF  SHRIMP  BY  SIZE 
AND  DEPTH 

The  average  size  of  shrimp  on  the  fish- 
ing grounds  increases  with  depth.  This 
relationship  is  illustrated  by  plotting  the 
average  sizes  of  all  samples  throughout 
the  year  against  depth,  keeping  the  sexes 
separate  (figs.  7  and  8).

from  males  and  females,  the  trend  of  the 
combined  sexes  is  shown  (fig.  9).  The 
curve  representing  male  data  shows  a 
slope  of  0.618  mm.  (Sd  yx  =  0.752  mm.) 
for  each  fathom  change  in  depth.  The 
female  shrimp  show  a  more  rapid  in- 
crease in  length  of  carapace  with  increase 
in  depth,  0.868  mm.  (Sd  y-x  =  1.16).  The 
combined  data  provide  an  intermediate 
slope,  0.739  (Sd  yx  =  0.881).  Despite  this 
relation  between  size  of  shrimp  and  depth,

there  is  a  considerable  range  of  sizes 
at  all  depths.  Some  important  causes  of 
this  variation  will  be  discussed  in  sub- 
sequent sections. 

The  following  figures  (10  to  13)  contain 
data  gathered  on  groups  of  cruises  and 
these  points  should  be  noted: 

1.  The  average  size  (carapace  length) 
of  shrimp  on  the  grounds. 

2.  The  distance  between  isopleths. 
When  the  standard  isopleths  are  close 
together,  the  average  size  of  shrimp  is 
changing  rapidly  and  conversely. 

3.  Direction  of  the  gradient.  When 
the  isopleths  are  parallel  over  some  dis- 
tance on  the  grounds,  a  positive  gradient 
exists. 


Examination  of  these  isopleths  shows, 
with  minor  exceptions,  that  two  patterns 
of  size  distribution  predominate  on  the 
Tortugas  grounds.  One  is  the  increased 
size  with  depth  and  the  other  a  size 
gradient  in  a  northerly  direction  irre- 
spective of  depth.  Without  complete  cov- 
erage of  the  fishing  grounds  during  each 
cruise,  a  complete  evaluation  of  the  sig- 
nificance of  these  two  patterns  is  not 
feasible.  We  have  shown  in  figures  7, 
8,  and  9  that  a  size -depth  relation  exists 
but  we  must  consider  that  such  a  rela- 
tionship may  be  a  function  of  diffusion 
or  dispersion  of  individuals  from  the 
Keys.  Considering  the  number  of  cruises 
in  which  the  resultant  isopleth  lines  cross 
fathom  contours,  we  strongly  entertain 
this  possibility. 

These  data  suggest  that  small  shrimp 
move  onto  the  grounds  from  the  east 
and    southeast    and    increase    in    size    as

they  move  in  either  a  northerly  or  north- 
westerly direction.  There  is  no  distinct 
seasonal  pattern  in  the  size -depth  rela- 
tion. Small  shrimp  predonninate  on  the 
grounds  during  the  months  of  September 
through  May. 

Using  as  an  index  of  abundance  the 
number  of  shrimp  caught  per  hour  in 
the  standard  try  net,  additional  infor- 
mation on  shrimp  movements  was  ob- 
tained. Catches  are  charted  on  the  fol- 
lowing graphs,  and  the  diameter  of  the 
circles  denote  the  number  of  shrimp 
taken  per  try -net  hour  (figs.  14  to  16). 
The  greatest  abundance  occurred  from 
December  1957  to  January  1958  and  from 
March  to  June  1958.  Catches  during  these 
periods  were  made  in  shallow  water  on 
the  southern  and  eastern  sectors  of  the 
grounds.  This  evidence  indicates  a  period 
of  recruitment  during  the  winter,  with 
shrimp  entering  the  grounds  from  the 
south  and  east,  much  as  was  shown  by 
the  size -depth  relation. 

FLEET  CONCENTRATIONS 


Most  of  the  data  on  fleet  concentra- 
tions were  obtained  from  observations 
made  on  the  charter  vessel.  These  ob- 
servations were  made  on  every  cruise 
and  hence  are  more  complete  than  those 
made  from  airplanes.  Airplane  flights 
over  the  grounds  at  night  provide  spatial 
distribution  and  estimates  of  the  total 
number  of  vessels  trawling.  Seven  air- 
plane flights  were  made  (table  4,  p.  21). 

The  number  of  boats  observed  from 
the  charter  vessel  are  totaled  for  5-mile 
squares  and  are  represented  by  symbols 
denoting  the  various  concentrations  (figs. 
17-19).  These  figures  can  only  be  con- 
sidered as  rough  estimates  since  the 
diagram  for  each  cruise  usually  repre- 
sents a  total  of  three  nights'  observations. 
Boats  moving  from  one  location  on  the 
grounds  to  another  during  the  cruise 
could  have  been  nnissed  altogether.  Vary- 
ing visibility  on  the  fishing  grounds  also 
produces  errors. 

While  observations  on  the  distribution 
of  fishing  effort  are  incomplete,  some 
general  seasonal  trends  in  fishing  effort 
can  be  seen.  During  the  period  December 


to  June  the  largest  concentrations  of 
vessels  were  observed  and  were  located 
on  the  eastern  and  southeastern  portions 
of  the  grounds.  An  exception  to  this 
occurred  during  October  when  concen- 
trations of  over  35  vessels  per  5 -mile 
square  were  noted  on  the  southwestern 
portion  of  the  grounds.  During  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year  the  vessels  generally 
covered  the  entire  grounds,  their  distri- 
bution being  restricted  by  the  State  con- 
servation area  and  by  the  occurrence  of 
algae. 

The  distribution  of  fleet  concentrations 
agrees  well  with  the  abundance  indices 
of  pink  shrimp  in  time  and  space.  The 
largest  catches  of  shrimp  and  the  largest 
number  of  vessels  were  found  on  the 
eastern  and  southern  portions  of  the 
grounds,  and  these  values  were  also 
highest  during  the  months  from  December 
to  June. 


SHRIMP  DISCARDING 

Since  small  shrimp  bring  a  lower  price 
than  large  shrimp,  fishermen  sometimes 
discard  the  small  ones.  This  practice  is 
important  in  the  analysis  of  the  fishery 
because  shrimp  which  are  caught  and 
then  discarded  are  not  included  in  catch 
records.  This  lowers  the  catch  per  unit 
of  effort  of  a  vessel  and  introduces  an 
error  in  the  average  size  of  shrimp 
caught.  Estimates  of  discard  in  this  study 
have  come  only  from  the  research  vessel 
for  reasons  discussed  earlier.  Observa- 
tions were  made  on  (1)  the  sizes  of 
shrimp  discarded  compared  to  those  re- 
tained, (2)  the  ratio  of  times  fishermen 
discarded  shrimp  to  the  times  that  they 
did  not  discard  shrimp,  and  (3)  the  possi- 
ble influence  of  different  size  distribu- 
tions causing  fishermen  to  discard. 

To  obtain  information  on  the  sizes  of 
shrimp  discarded  compared  to  those  re- 
tained, heads  from  shrimp  that  had  been 
retained  and  whole  discarded  shrimp 
were  measured  during  five  cruises  (fig- 
ure 20).  When  discarding  occurred,  vir- 
tually all  shrimp  as  large  as  19  mm. 
(smaller  than  100  count,  heads  off)  were 
discarded  and  about  80  percent  of  22 
mm.  and  about  60  percent  of  25  mm. 
were  discarded.  Practically  no  shrimp 
larger   than   28   mm.    carapace   length    (60

count,  heads  off)  were  discarded.  On 
certain  instances  fishermen  left  small 
numbers  of  large  shrimp,  but  these  were 
merely  overlooked  and  were  not  inten- 
tionally discarded.  Some  were  also  cast 
aside  because  they  were  crushed,  or 
soft,  having  recently  molted.  From  these 
data  it  appears  that  when  discarding 
occurred,  Z6  mm.  carapace  length  was 
the  largest  size  normally  discarded  and 
that  at  about  20  mm.  carapace  length 
all  shrimp  were  discarded. 


The  second  aspect  of  this  phase  of 
the  study  was  to  determine  how  often 
discarding  took  place.  Tows  containing 
some  shrimp  of  26  mm.  or  less  (i.e., 
sizes  which  are  ordinarily  discarded) 
were  observed  (table  5).  On  23  tows  the 
fishermen  intentionally  discarded  small 
shrimp  and  on  177,  they  did  not.  The 
majority  of  these  cruises  for  which  dis- 
carding took  place  occurred  during  mid- 
winter and  fall.  Table  5  also  shows  the 
range     and     mean     percentages     of     tows

in  which  shrimp  less  than  26  mm.  were 
discarded  and  not  discarded.  In  discard- 
ing tows,  the  mean  percentage  (obtained 
by  averaging  the  percentages  of  all 
samples)  was  higher  (58.1  percent  of 
shrimp  were  26  mm.  or  less)  than  for 
the  no-discard  tows  (33.7  percent).  On 
some  tows  when  no  discarding  took  place, 
as  high  as  93  percent  of  the  shrimp 
were  26  mm.  or  below. 


When  large  numbers  of  small  shrimp 
(under  26  mm.)  first  appeared  on  the 
grounds  in  September  1958,  discarding 
occurred.  When  it  becanne  apparent  that 
the  small  shrimp  were  in  great  abun- 
dance, they  were  retained.  During  the 
study  period  dealers  indicated  that  all 
sizes  of  shrimp  could  be  marketed.  In 
September,  samples  taken  from  trash 
in  two  heading  houses  produced  no  whole 
discarded  shrimp  that  were  not  soft  or 
damaged.  Average  size  of  two  samples 
were  22.9  mm.  and  22.2  mm.  carapace 
length,  the  smallest  individuals  measured 
about  18  mm. 


SUMMARY 

1.  This  report  contains  observations 
on  the  relation  between  the  size  of  Tor- 
tugas  pink  shrimp  and  the  depth  of  water 
where  they  occur,  on  fleet  concentrations, 
on  the  grounds,  and  on  the  discards  of 
small  pink  shrimp. 

2.  Data  on  these  aspects  were  gathered 
from  September  1957  to  November  1958. 
Two  cruises  per  month  were  made  each 
month  except  June,  October,  and  Novem- 
ber 1958  to  observe  fleet  activities  and 
to  collect  samples  of  shrinnp.  Seven 
flights  were  made  over  the  grounds  to 
observe  fleet  concentrations.  Additional 
information  on  fishing  effort  was  obtained 
from  logbooks. 

3.  The  average  carapace  length  of  both 
male  and  female  shrimp  taken  during  the 
year  increased  with  depth;  however,  a 
size  gradient  irrespective  of  depth  was 
also  apparent  in  a  northerly  direction 
from  the  Keys.  Whether  the  size-depth 
relation  was  a  function  of  seasonal  dis- 
persion of  shrimp  as  they  increased  in 
size,  could  not  be  determined. 


During  the  period  from  Jvme  through 
November  1958,  logbook  reports  from 
14  boat&  indicate  that  very  little  discard 
took  place.  Data  from  approximately  645 
tows  (on  the  basis  of  three  tows  per 
night)  show  discard  occurring  on  only 
17  tows,  for  an  estimated  total  weight 
of  138  pounds.  Apparently  small  shrimp 
are  discarded  only  when  few  are  caught, 
and  it  is  not  worth  the  effort  or  expense 
to  ice  them  separately  from  the  rest  of 
the  catch. 


4.  The  small  shrimp  first  occurred  on 
the  eastern  and  southeastern  portions 
of  the  grounds.  Small  shrimp  were  most 
widely  distributed  on  the  grounds  during 
September  through  May  1958. 

5.  The  highest  catches,  based  on  try- 
net  data,  were  made  December  1957- 
January  1958,  and  during  March  to  June 
1958.  The  highest  catches  were  made 
on  the  southern  and  eastern  areas  of 
the  grounds,  generally  in  shallow  water.

6.  During  December  to  June  the  largest 
concentrations  of  vessels  were  located 
on  the  eastern  and  southern  portions  of 
the  grounds.  During  the  summer,  the 
fleet  was  more  widespread.

APPENDIX 

All  tows  from  which  samples  of  shrimp  were  obtained  for  the  size -distribution 
study  are  listed  in  appendix  table  1.  Not  all  tows  provided  adequate  sannples  of 
shrimp;  where  this  was  the  case,  no  average  carapace  length  is  provided.  During 
July  and  August  1958  (Cruises  16,  17,  and  18),  28  tows  were  made  with  the  try  net 
to  locate  the  eastern  boundary  of  the  recurrence  of  algae.  These  tows  are  not  listed. 
Try  net  tows  that  were  made  simultaneously  with  main  net  tows  are  not  listed.
