Shrimp

Shrimp is a type of crustaceans with elonged bodies and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion. Under the broader definition, shrimp may be synonymous with prawn. Covering the stalk-eyed swimming crustaceans with long muscular tails long whiskers and slender legs. Any small crustaceans that resemble a shrimp are called one. The habitat of the shrimp covers all waters, near the shore, rivers, lakes and in the deep sea. There are several types of shrimp on the dutch market. Wild shrimps from colder waters like the brown shrimp and the northern prawn are in general a bit smaller. Big shrimps or prawns also referred to as ‘gamba’, are most often imported from tropical areas, where they are farmed.

Brown shrimp

The brown shrimp, also known as the common shrimp, bay shrimp or sand shrimp, is a small shrimp with an average length of 3-5 centimetres. This species can be found in almost all European coastal waters with sandy and silty bottoms. The brown shrimp is most active at night when foraging and bury themselves in the substrate during the day. This species is one of the three species of shrimp that is fished most in the North Sea. Shrimp are sorted and boiled on board of the vessel after which they are transported to Morocco where they are peeled.

Final assessment

Explanation assessment

The short life span and environmental dependence of the brown shrimp makes for a highly variable stockStock:
The fish of a particular species reproducing in the same area in the same period. . This makes it difficult to carry out conventional stock estimates.

Demersal fisheries such as bottomBottom trawls:
A fishing technique in which cone-shaped nets terminating in a codend are dragged through the water column or along the bottom. trawls and beamBeam trawls:
A technique in which a pit net at the top is kept open by a horizontal tube (the tree). Ticklerchains are tossed through the bottom to hunt the fish into the net. trawls can have a major negative impact on the ecosystem as they are dragged across the seabed. BycatchBycatch:
Species caught next to species targeted for fishery. By-catches can consist of non-commercial species and species that are too small, and can be kept (this part is sometimes called by-product) or thrown back into the sea (discards). of other species, including endangered and protectedProtected species:
Many marine species are protected from deliberate or intentional disturbance, capture, injury and killing, and in some cases possession or sale. Species are often protected if they play an important role in the ecosystem or are sensitive to fishing. These marine species are protected regardless of whether they are inside or outside marine protected areas. species, is likely and often documented.

Brown shrimp is managed through a so-called HarvestHarvest Control Rule:
Harvest control rules (HCRs) are the operational component of a harvest strategy, essentially pre-agreed guidelines that determine how much fishing can take, based on indicators of the targeted stock's status. Control Rule, which limits the level of fishing effort. The EU has not set catch limitsCatch limits:
The maximum amount of fish of a species caught per country, per year. . ManagementManagement:
The regulations surrounding fisheries and aquaculture that ensure that production is carried out within legal frameworks and that sustainability can be assured. of this species is partially effective.
