BRITISH HONDURAS 



British Honduras vjas not visited during the course of this 

 survey. However, it is not expected that British Honduras will produce 

 any quantity of shrimp. Reports from various explorations indicate 

 that pink shrimp, Penaeus duorarum , and probably P. schmitti , occur in 

 coastal waters. They have never been reported in the abundance that 

 would warrant the development of a trawl fishery. The shrimp usually 

 are found well dispersed. This condition seems to be prevalent through- 

 out most of the continental shores bordering on the Caribbean Sea. Per- 

 haps this area may eventually produce 200 thousand pounds or so of shrimp 

 a year.
