Abstract
  • The housewife knows the little shrimp used for seafood cocktails and salads as the north Pacific cocktail shrimp. Fishermen harvesting them along Oregon's coast call them pink shrimp, and scientists identify them as Pandalus jordani. By any name, this crustacean is the object of Oregon's newest seafood fishery. This fishery began in 1957, and by 1973 it had expanded to a value of $5.4 million. The fishery has really boomed since 1966, when the Russians began fishing off Oregon. Biologists don't know what caused this shrimp bonanza, but it is possible that the hake and ocean perch caught by the Soviets are predators on shrimp. As their number declined, shrimp may have benefited.
