Pink and brown shrimp are important commercial species--in 2011 Gulf trawlers landed over $400 million worth of shrimp. One of the main purposes of this survey is to estimate the abundance and growth rates of these shrimp species. Those estimates will be used, along with other data, to set sustainable catch limits for the coming season.
