No clue, but the boat is a sister to this one, anchored at the same spot; they are based in Guaymas;

Oh that shrimp boat - brought in the daily catch for my breakfast and dinner. While I understand that these trawlers are not at all good for the
ecology of the sea, shrimp freshly havested and cooked are a taste treat that can't be beat. Are there ways of getting shrimp other than dragging the
bottom with those big nets?

Its hard to give up eating gulf shrimp, but...
The trawlers are extremely devastating . Only a small portion of their indiscriminate catch is shrimp. On top of that is the disruption and
destruction of the sea floor from dragging it. If you saw the carnage in person you'd be horrified.

Before yall get carried away
You may want to check out my Shrimp Shanghai story from a while back.
Mexico has been successfully making shrimp farms all over de place. When I was shanghaid, I thought we were unloading from a shrimper but when I
finally got a chance to investigate, I realized there were a bunch of people out in this pond harvesting some of the best shrimp I have ever had.
And as far as the skiin goes, that water looks a little choppy to me. I am spoiled when it comes to skiin on glass

For a few shrimp.....the rest in this net goes to waste. Takes ten pounds, I said TEN POUNDS, of waste for every pound of shrimp. I'm not even going
to tell you what a desert this dragging creates under water.

Those are some nice sized shrimp
in that photo! But, the shrimp farms that are sprouting up everywhere should at least cut down on the problem that Mexico is well aware of. I sure
hope so anyway.

Dont bank on that! I heard the same words about fish farms in Ca. Well....there aint no life in the tidel pools of N. Ca. And the deep sea fishing is
a joke up here. NOTHING like it was in the early 60's

The answer is yes, there are ways to 'net' shrimp in a profitable way without dredging the bottom, but it does not yield quite the catch...and without
rules/enforcement you now know the rest of the story.

Then difference being
that these shrimp farms are actually working at this point in time. We all hope they continue to do so.
It is at least a step in the right direction.
Fish farms in california? Do you mean the trout farms?
