More about the #oceanwin we shared yesterday. 🌊 The Oregon pink shrimp fishery fishes in the same vicinity as a threatened fish species called eulachon. 🐟 It is a tiny silver fish whose name comes from the local Chinookan language. The fish is also sometimes referred to as candlefish because they used to be dried up and used as candles. Like salmon, eulachon migrate from the sea up to rivers to spawn. To reduce accidental catch of this species, the MSC certified Oregon pink shrimp fishery has attached LED lights to their netting during night fishing to ward off the candlefish. This has resulted in an 80-90% reduction in accidental catch! 👏
