Demonia Cagle H om ecom ing 1973 » ' J A record annual catch, along with record prices, accompanied the close of the Oregon shrimp season on October 15 according to Jim Meehan, Fish Commis­ sion of Oregon program leader for Groundfish and Shrimp in ­ vestigations Landings of 24.1 m illion pounds greatly outdis tanced last year’s harvest of 20 9 m illion pounds and was 2 -'j limes greater than the 10-year average catch Meehan believes that two m a­ jo r lactors contributed to the greatly increased harvest One is the improved environmental conditions caused by offshore ocean upwellmgs which bring nutrients from the ocean bottom to the surface In addition, high prices and a better than average catch for effort expended spur red Oregon's commercial fish ermen Io fish more intensively. Prices paid Io the fishermen were twice what they were three years ago, reaching 22 cents per pound by the end of the season Total dockside value of the 1973 catch was a whopping $4.2 m illion The largest shrimp fleet ever to fish off Oregon, uescended on the offshore shrimping grounds netting this year's record catch. As in the past, Coos Bay was the number one port in shrimp landings Shrimp populations off the Oregon coast are believed Io be holding their own against this massive onslaught L a rg e shrimp were harvested this year as the crop was composed mainly of three-year-olds with a fa ir number of smaller one-year olds Next year’s crop is predict­ ed Io be about the same weight as this year’s record harvest, but the average size of the shrimp w ill probably be down as most ot the shrim p harvested w ill be two-year-olds BESTBUY COAST TO COAST TORCH KIT Coast to Coast torch kit has standard pencil burner and cylinder All brass burner.
