“The Only Surf and Sail Shop”
to be grossly inaccurate and
Mobile area fishermen say sea
food consumers will pay higher
prices as a result.
Shrimpers from Texas to
south Florida say there is one
reason behind the light catches,
which have been running far be
hind what was caught by this
time last year.
“It’s no secret. There is no
shrimp,” said Walton Kraver, a
partner in Deep Sea Foods,
which owns shrimp boats and a
processing plant in Mobile.
Shrimpers who made the
annual trek to south Florida
during the winter months got a
taste of the coming season.
Kraver said the winter catch was
about half what they caught last
year.
Following the traditional
migratory pattern, the Bayou La
Batre shrimp fleet moved on to
waters off the coasts of Alabama
and Mississippi where author
ities had predicted an exception
al year.
Government figures show
that off the coast of the two
states 2.6 million pounds of
shrimp were netted through
June 30, 1981. For the same
period this year, only 1.9 million
pounds were caught.
In the entire gulf, shrimp
production dropped from 27.5
million pounds through June
1981 to 23.4 million in the same
period this year.
“The catch was down 80 per
cent in Louisiana, so we were
really looking to Texas for
help,” Kraver said.
To give the shrimp a chance
to mature, waters within 200
miles of the Texas shore were
closed for 45 days.
“The first night we did all
right,” Kraver said. “But the
catch has dwindled ever since.”
He said the Bayou La Batre
fleet would remain in Texas un
til September. Kraver said the
consumer will bear the brunt of
the poor crop.
“The price goes up,” he said.
