Fishers to aid study of declining shrimp

Fishermen harvested 2,000+ tons a year before catch collapsed in 2013

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) โ€” Three New England states say they have tapped fishermen to collect samples of a species of shrimp that was the source of a lucrative fishery before it started disappearing.

Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire have all picked fishermen to harvest Northern shrimp to help gather information about the stock. The fishermen will also be allowed to sell a limited number of the shrimp on the open market.

The program will employ ten trawlers and five trappers who will fish for eight weeks starting in the middle of this month.
