Immerse yourself in the world of shrimp fishing, where dip nets and drag nets compete to catch these mischievous crustaceans. Whether in boots on the beach or in a boat on the high seas, this coastal tradition combines adventure and marine delights. Be careful, the shrimp won't give up easily!

Shrimp fishing: A traditional and varied activity

Shrimp fishing, rooted in global coastal traditions, is practiced using methods adapted to the types of shrimp and local conditions. Fishing on foot, using dip nets and nets, takes place in the shallow waters of beaches and tides. At sea, boats equipped with drag nets catch shrimp at depth, an often commercial practice. Baited traps, such as pots, offer a static alternative, while the net, a square net lifted by hand, is common in estuaries and rivers. Complying with local regulations, choosing appropriate bait and ensuring safety, especially at sea, are essential. This activity, whether for pleasure or commerce, combines tradition and varied techniques, offering both an enriching experience and prized seafood products.

Economic impact of the reduction in the shrimp fishing quota.

For the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the quota could drop by almost 80%, falling from 14,500 in 2023 to 3,060 tonnes for this year.
In Gaspésie, this reduction could have significant economic consequences, because shrimp fishing represents between 650 and 950 direct jobs (crews, factories, shipyards, etc.) and up to 1,800 indirect jobs. With such a low quota, many fishermen risk not being able to make a profit from their season, thus threatening the economic viability of the entire region.
However, by following the evolution of the northern shrimp fishery in the Gulf of St. Lawrence since 2002, we see that quotas continue to decline, going from more than 3,000 tonnes to less than 400 tonnes. The year 2024 thus represents the lowest shrimp catch since 1982.

Integrated fisheries management plan and new precautionary approach.

Example of the management and control of shrimp fishing in Canada:
The 2024/2025 integrated shrimp trawl fisheries management plan (IPMP) comes into force from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025. Fishing began on April 1, 2024 and will end on December 31, 2024. A new approach precautionary measure, taking into account climate change and predation by redfish, was adopted to establish the total allowable catch (TAC) of shrimp. In British Columbia, the shrimp fishery uses approximately 230 licenses, with an annual participation of 45 to 60 boats. This new approach aims to ensure the sustainability of shrimp stocks while taking into account current environmental and ecological factors.

Thus, as the hours pass, the sea reveals its secrets and the fishermen return to land, their nets filled with riches. The lesson of the day seems clear: the fruits of hard work and cooperation are invaluable. In each shrimp, they see not only a victory over the elements, but also a celebration of human solidarity.
