Shrimp Shortage???
Shrimp Shortage???
Hello Fellow Divers!
Happy Friday!
I just wanted to see if anyone else has noticed a lot less shrimp lately? On all of my dives I'm looking for shrimp to take pictures off, but lately I'm lucky if I even see 1 shrimp per dive.
I remember when I started diving 2 years ago there were shrimp all over the place.
Any thoughts?
Have a great weekend!

Melting shrimp? Not likely to notice that.
The candy stripes at Skyline have been having a good year.

Lots of shrimp off of Port Townsend today. I like to render them immobile with my light. Catch and release.
Re: Shrimp Shortage???
No shrimp at all at Alki Junkyard today, none on thu at Redondo either :(

Are you doing night dives for shrimp and missing them?

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
We've not looked in the typical areas/times to see the spot prawn, but we are looking in areas/times you'd normally see the coonstripe to no avail!

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
I looked in the REEF database for coonstripe shrimp, I didn't see any falloff in coonstripe reports from previous years yet.

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
I usually dive Thursday nights & SAT/SUN Days and haven't seen any Coon, Horned or Stiletto shrimp for quite some time. I don't usually go super deep so I didn't except to see the Spot Prawns. I did see one spot prawn a few weeks back at DIW at ThThTh but that was last shrimp I've seen in a while.CaptnJack wrote:Are you doing night dives for shrimp and missing them?
I've looked for them at Cove 2, Edmonds, Keystone, Muck (Clay Wall & GEO Dome), Redondo, 3 Tree and DIW and the #'s are way lower then what I remember seeing 2 years ago. Now Days I'm happy if I see one or 2 shrimp per dive.
I'm not sure if anyone else is missing them?

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
I know what you're saying Jessica. I remember a couple years ago seeing a ton of their eyes when your light shines on them. They just aren't as many anymore. I think I saw the most in one place at Dalco Wall. I would like to go check and see how many are there now.

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
I'm noticing the same thing too. Just not a lot of them.

Re: Shrimp Shortage???
No shrimp seen at Cove 1 yesterday on the reef or near the storm drain or in the debris trail. Usually they are lined up in the nooks and crannies.

I saw a lot at Salt Creek last weekend. Most I've seen in a long time.
