Rains Will Bring Relief To The Fishermen
In case you have been waiting for the shrimp season to begin at Hilton Head Island, there is certainly good news in the offing. Although the commercial shrimping season was postponed this year, commencing just about a month later than typical, fishermen are reporting some terrific hauls of brown shrimps from the waters now. As this Island Packet report says, local boats are trawling the waters off of the island for summer brown shrimp pretty successfully.
Reasons for Delay of Shrimping Season
As reported by the Department of Natural Resources, the lower than normal temperatures during this winter prompted the postponement in the starting of shrimping season this year. The first crop of shrimp did not make an appearance when predicted and this forced the DNR to call for a late start to the season. The delay allowed the shrimp to repopulate by fall. It is thought that the white shrimp that are ordinarily harvested during springtime couldn't endure the unusually cold weather during the winter.
Good Hauls with Brown Shrimp
The Department of Natural Resources reported that trawlers were hauling in summer brown shrimp since a week ago. A DNR biologist said that these shrimp made quite a surprise appearance in the waters off Hilton Head Island. About ten other boats that were out on the waters also claimed good catches of these fish. For the local people, the arrival of the brown shrimp brings great relief. Seafood restaurants, specifically, have a great deal to celebrate now that they're able to replenish their reduced shrimp stores. Even so, the activity out on the water still appears to be abnormally subdued. Maybe shrimpers remain disappointed because they were unable to acquire their customary haul of the larger sized white shrimp. The white shrimp also happens to be the more profitable variety to sell.
Rains Will Bring Relief
Residents are waiting for the rains to start here because then the shrimp will grow to larger sizes. The rain provides nutrients to the waters here that are needed for the shrimp's growth. The fish will also start to move downstream from the small feeder creeks once the rain begins. The brackish water in these feeder creeks simply will not provide adequate nutrients to the fish which is the reason they're smaller in size than usual this season, locals say.
