The development of the international shrimp (Pandalus borealis) fishery in NAFO Division 3M is described. A standard six nation data set is used to create a series of standardized catch per unit effort (CPUE) indices with the purpose of tracking the status of the Flemish Cap shrimp stock. Also an international observer database of length frequencies was created for the purpose of ageing.observer samples is used on which ageing was carried out. Shrimp ages are presented as well as number/kg/age based on both nominal catch and standardised CPUE. Indices of recruitment and female stock are calculated from this using the standardized CPUE series. Recruitment indices were determined from the Faroese survey trawl and the juvenile net attached to the trawl. While Spawning Stock Biomass index (SSB) was obtained from the EU survey and the Faroese surveys.
