The shrimp fishery is a major global industry, with more than 3.4 million tons caught per year, chiefly in Asia. Rates of bycatch are unusually high for shrimp fishing, with the capture of sea turtles being especially contentious. A shrimper is a fishing vessel rigged for shrimp fishing. NomenclatureThe term shrimp, as used by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), covers all shrimp (Caridea) and prawns (Dendrobranchiata, comprising Penaeoidea and Sergestoidea) – a group formerly known as "Natantia".[1] This nomenclature often differs from local use, in which the same species may be known by different names, or where different species may be known by the same name.[2] HistorySmall-scale local fishery for shrimp and prawns has existed for centuries and continues to form a large proportion of the world's shrimp fisheries.[3] Trawling increased in scale with the introduction of otter boards, which use the flow of water to hold the trawling net open, and the introduction of steam-powered vessels, replacing the earlier sail-powered boats.[3] Both of these developments took off in the 1880s, and were soon applied to shrimp fisheries, especially following the research effort of the Norwegian marine biologist Johan Hjort.[3] Over time, the original open skiffs, {{convert|5|-|8|m}} long, were replaced by decked boats, to which diesel engines were added, allowing the boats to reach an average of {{convert|18|m|abbr=on}}.[4] Scale and distributionIn the United States, shrimp and prawn fisheries are second only to crab fishing in terms of importance. In the northern parts of the country, cold-water shrimp are targeted, while warm-water species are targeted along the south-eastern Atlantic coast, and in the Gulf of Mexico.[5] Most of the production is of warm-water species, but this is dwarfed by the imports of shrimp, mostly from aquaculture.[5] This has led to international controversies, with some United States fishermen accusing countries such as Brazil, China, Ecuador, India, Thailand and Vietnam of dumping shrimp on the US market, while some of the producing nations protested to the World Trade Organization about duties levied by the US in response to the inferred dumping.[6] ControversiesShrimp fisheries produce unusually high levels of bycatch. Before the introduction of bycatch reduction devices in the 1980s, shrimp fishery had a bycatch ratio (ratio of the amount of non-target species caught to the amount of the target species caught) of 4.5–5.3:1.[7] Since BRDs were introduced, the bycatch ratios may have been reduced by as much as 30%.[7] Shrimp fisheries tend to "capture more sea turtles than any other commercial fishery".[8] Species targetedShrimps are from all different types of bodies of water in the world. Fewer than 300 species of shrimp and prawns are of commercial importance, out of a total of 3000 species. The catch is dominated by six "species items",{{#tag:ref|The FAO divides fisheries into "species items", which are typically species, but may be genera or higher taxa.|group=Note}} which collectively account for 82% of the global catch.[10] These are given in the table below: Shrimp and prawn fisheries can be divided into cold-water, warm-water and paste shrimp fisheries, broadly corresponding to the three taxonomic categories Penaeoidea, Caridea and Sergestoidea, respectively.[2] Paste shrimp fisheriesAlthough the various species of the genus Acetes are not always distinguished by fishermen, collectively they form the world's largest shrimp fishery.[17]{{#tag:ref|Excluding the catch-all category "Natantian decapods nei".|group=Note}} There are fisheries for Acetes in Korea, Japan and Southeast Asia, but the vast majority of the catch is in China.[17] The total catch is likely to be grossly under-recorded, but was estimated at 664,716 t in 2005.[17] Within the Asia–Pacific region, the Acetes fishery is the fourth largest fishery by weight, after hairtails, anchovies and scads.[17] Warm-water fisheriesWarm-water shrimp and prawn fisheries usually target several species,[11] and are typically monitored in terms of the catch per unit effort (CPUE), rather than the complex models used for cold-water shrimp.[12] Warm-water species (mainly Litopenaeus setiferus, Farfantepenaeus aztecus, and Farfantepenaeus duorarum) provide more than 85% of the shrimp fishery in the United States, and are caught in the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent parts of the Atlantic Ocean.[13] Bycatch is a serious problem for warm-water shrimp fisheries, with inadvertent catches of sea turtles being among the most contentious issues.[14] Cold-water fisheriesThe most important cold-water species is the "northern prawn", Pandalus borealis,[15] which accounts for 12% of the total shrimp and prawn catch.[16] Up to 70% of the catch is landed in Canada and Greenland.[15] The price of cold-water shrimp has been in decline since the 1990s, as a result of increased shrimp farming.[17] Bycatch is typically managed in cold-water shrimp trawling, and rates of bycatch are accordingly low,[7] and the capture of sea turtles is rare in cold temperate waters.[18] Bycatch is mostly reduced by the use of Nordmøre grids,[19] which reduce the numbers of cod, haddock, Greenland halibut and redfish caught during shrimp trawls.[20] The Nordmøre grid was invented by the Norwegian fisherman Paul Brattøy, primarily as a means of excluding jellyfish from shrimp catches, and introduced in 1989.[19] This innovation causes a minimal reduction in the quantity of shrimp caught, but can reduce the amounts of bycatch by around 97%.[19]Fisheries for cold-water shrimp using pots, the bycatch is mostly of invertebrates, including squat lobsters, crabs, molluscs and echinoderms.[21] See also
