Description
Summary:The results on northern shrimp (Pandalus borealis) obtained from a Spanish bottom trawl survey in the NAFO Regulatory Area (Divisions 3NO) in spring 2003, carried out by the Instituto Español de Oceanografía (Spanish Oceanographic Institute, Vigo Centre), are presented and compared with those from previous surveys from the same series. Catch obtained (324.8 kg.) is the second highest in the series, thus maintaining the catch increase noted in 2002 (total of 408.1 kg.) relative to previous years. For the first time, the IEO has enlarged the sampling area to Div. 3L, where important shrimp catches were obtained (5835.8 kg.). Catch results from the surveys and data analysis are discussed in this paper.
