DID YOU KNOW?
Three species of penaeid shrimp — white, pink, and brown — are caught in North Carolina and make up most of the shrimp harvested in nearby states as well. Juveniles use estuaries and tidal creeks as their nursery habitat in late spring and early summer. Wild-caught N.C. shrimp are a smart seafood choice, as harvests are managed under state and federal regulations. Learn more about offshore versus inshore catches in Hook, Line & Science.
