A spokesperson for the Cooperative Patole Fish Production said that the harvest of shrimp began 5:00 am Wednesday morning when 20 boats, each with two men on board, left the docks. Around 8:30 am the boats returned with an average of 200 kilos of shrimp each. The average weight of the shrimp was 14 ounces.
José Natividad Torres Salazar, president of the cooperative, said it was a very good start to the season, both in quantity and size. He attributed the good harvest to the lunar cycle. José Natividad Torres said they expect to harvest 100 tons of shrimp in the next two months.
A total of 20,000 larvae were seeded in stages from March through May.
