Poor growing conditions in Texas bays have forced a later
than normal closing date of June 1 for the Gulf of Mexico com-
mercial shrimp season in both state and federal waters, state fish-
eries officials announced this week. The closing date means the
earliest Gulf shrimping season could reopen would be July 15.
“We believe this later closing is necessary because the shrimp
in the bays are smaller and fewer in numbers than normal,” ex-
plained Gene McCarty, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department
(TPWD) Coastal Fisheries director. “Protracted periods of cold
weather coupled with reduced freshwater inflow have delayed the
major movement of larval shrimp into the bays. Cold weather
also slows shrimp growth rates.”
According to McCarty, once shrimp reach about 3 1/2 inches
long, they begin their migration back to the Gulf of Mexico. The
closure is designed to allow these small shrimp to grow to a
larger, more valuable size before they are vulnerable to harvest in
the Gulf. “The goal is to achieve optimum benefits for the
shrimping industry, while providing proper management to pro-
tect the shrimp,” said McCarty.
While the earliest the Gulf season can open will be July 15,
state biologist will be sampling shrimp populations to determine
the optimum opening dates for both the shrimp and the
shrimpers.
