The 2013-2014 shrimp season for the Mexican Pacific waters that includes
Sinaloa comes to an end today at 8:00 pm. Michel Ricardo Luna, president of the
Coastal Ship Owners Union of the Pacific Ocean, said the area closing today
extends from Sonora to Nayarit and encompasses 80 percent of the Pacific coast
shrimping fleet. The shrimp season for the remaining 15 percent, those fishing
the waters from Jalisco to Guatemala, will end on March 28.
Although this season’s catch is no more than that of last season, the market value of shrimp was up by 40 percent. According to Conapesca through February 7th 8,553 tons of shrimp had been caught by the Sinaloa shrimping fleet, only 4 percent less than the 8,865 tons caught during the same period last season.
Sinaloa pangas accounted for 6,832 tons of shrimp, up 23 percent over last season’s catch for the same period of 5,538 tons.
Most the vessels in the Mazatlán shrimp fleet have returned to the dock at Bonfil.
