| Abstract | Despite a long tradition of a commercial exploitation of brown shrimp
(Crangon crangon) in the North Sea, there are still major gaps in our
knowledge on the biology, ecology and population dynamics of this
species. Besides C. crangon, there are other closely related species in
the area with quite a different biology. The project is based on data
from research vessels independent of commercial operations. Data are
collected to describe the seasonal distribution and the life cycle of
brown shrimp, to identify potential influences on the stocks and
communities by the commercial exploitation or by natural environmental
variables. These investigations also offer the background for possible
considerations to establish conservation measures such as closed seasons
or areas (protection of the spawning stock, reduction of by-catch).
