• Description:
  This is a report on the results of a federal Fishing Industry Grant (FIG) project awarded to Clinton Fisheries, Inc.. The purpose of this FIG project was to assess the commercial viability of the deep-sea scarlet shrimp, Plesiopenaeus edwardsianus, during a six-week period, along the upper continental slope off southern New England and the mid-Atlantic. It provides insight into the potential of a new fishery targeting royal red shrimp ("Pleoticus robustus"). The authors assess the market for and profitability of royal red shrimp caught off southern New England and the mid- Atlantic, and investigate the cost of outfitting a commercial vessel for the harvesting of this species.
