From April through November 2004, Logothetis accompanied McCuiston twice a week as he trawled in areas from the New River to the South Carolina border, including Onslow, Pender, New Hanover and Brunswick counties and the Cape Fear River. McCuiston didn't trawl in all of these areas throughout the entire season, partly due to restrictions. DMF closed different areas at different times to let juvenile shrimp and finfish develop. But sometimes McCuiston avoided temperature, depth and tide phase. After hauling in the nets, McCuiston and Logothetis separated the shrimp from the bycatch, and Logothetis weighed all of the shrimp and measured a subsample to record their size. She then grouped the bycatch according to species, weighed each group, and measured the lengths of individuals from different subsamples. "We looked at the total weight of the shrimp compared to that of the bycatch and then further categorized the bycatch based on separately, she and McCuiston found the catch rates for bycatch were fairly similar across all the months of the project. But shrimp catch rates increased dramatically in July, she notes. "This is important because it shows that the quantity of bycatch itself changes little during the shrimp .by contrast, the quantity of the shrimp changes significantly," says Logothetis. "When the shrimp are abundant, generally the catch is more shrimp than ;. a single-rig otter trawl fishes fdr shrimp in the Cape Fear River. Denny McCuiston, a commercial shrimper, trawls in inside waters and the Atlantic Ocean. McCuiston hauls in his nets and raises the doors of the trawl.
