Shrimp Season
Is Off To Good
Start Is Report

The Pascagoula shrimping fleet
went back to work August II af-
ter a two-months closed season
with catches reported moderate
in weight but composed of larg-
or shrimp than the average of
recent years.
Between so and 10 boats are
operating for the local market
and for wholesale shippers, who
have been sending out a total of
approximately 40 barrels of iced
shrimp each day.
Prices being paid this year are
about the same as last year, with
shrimp of the various grades
bringing $50, $40 and $55 a bar
rel. The lowest price is paid for
the shrimp which run 30 to 40
to the pound; the next price for
which run 20 to 30 to a
pound; and the highest price to
shrimp which run less than 20.
to a pound.
According to Joe Pelham, To-
cal packer, the two-month closed
season seems to have given the
shrimp a chance to attain greater
size than has been the ease in
recent years.
He expressed the opinion that
observance of the closed season
will have an increasing effect on
the size and number of the shrimp
with each passing year.
Mr.. Pelham said that each boat
is bringing in on an average OF
between a half barrel and a full
barrel each day.
