It gives direct, as well as, indirect employment for a number of people along the coast and has an impact on regional tourism. Monitoring brown shrimp stocks and the accompanying fauna from chartered vessels and research vessels serves for the understanding of the ecosystem and population dynamics of the shrimps in view of a sustainable and ecologically sound fishery in the region. Prediction models for landings and life cycle are intended to improve stabilising mechanisms for the fishery and processing. Results are contrarily to normal fisheries research activities not used by the Common Fishery Policy (CFP) of the EU but available directly to local authorities, producers organisations and ICES, who established a working group (WG) to investigate basic biological information and modelling around brown shrimp on an international, European wide level. Working Groups: ICES WG on Beam Trawl Surveys, ICES WG on Crangon Fisheries and Life Cycle, TMAP session of experts Research Cruises: annually 1 cruise FRV Solea (January) and 1 cruise (charter) in winter und 5 cruises (charter) in autumn (charter); GASEEZ.
Goals:
(1) Abundance of brown shrimp population; (2) Regional and seasonal distribution of brown shrimp; (3) Development of shrimp and fishery management objectives.
