Description:
Statewide Pacific ocean shrimp, Pandalus jordani, landings totaled 4,992,233 lb, a record annual catch that was double the 1974 catch of 2,382,821 lb. Landings for Areas A, B-1, B-2, and C were 3.4, 0.3, 1.2, and 0.06 million lb, respectively. Catch per hour trawled by single gear vessels ranged from 360 to 2,443 lb per hour for the 4areas. The outlook is for good 1976 seasons in Areas A and B-1 if the moderately strong 1974 year class is complemented by strong recruitment of the 1975 year class. Prospects for Areas B-2 and C are not as promising as those of other areas due to weak 1974 year classes. (20pp.)
