West Coast pink shrimp are a staple in classic dishes such as shrimp scampi and shrimp fried rice. Roughly 56.8 million pounds (or 7,322,122,984 individuals) of West Coast pink shrimp were caught by fishing vessels off the coasts of California and Oregon last year. While this is a largely impressive number, harvest sizes can vary from year to year typically coinciding with fluctuations in global weather patterns. However, despite the large size of this industry and repeatable patterns, relatively little is known about West Coast pink shrimp populations and why they can change so drastically from year to year.
