An assessment of the stock of shrimp (Pandalus borealis) in the Esquiman Channel, Gulf of St. Lawrence / by E. J. Sandeman.: Fs70-8/78-26E-PDF
"While the existence of shrimp fishing grounds in the deep water of the northern part of the Esquiman Channel has been known since 1958 (Squires, 1961), no attempt was made to commercially exploit the resource until 1970 when a joint effort by the Federal and Provincial governments and Fishery Products Ltd. established a shrimp processing plant at Port au Choix. At the same time three longliners were converted for shrimp trawling and these vessels quickly showed that a successful fishery was possible and during 1970 thesethree vessels were joined by others so that by the end of the year some 11 vessels were fishing for shrimps and a total landing of 159 metric tons was obtained. The fishery expanded rapidly in 1971 to some 21 vessels which landed 691 metric tons"--History of the Fishery, page [1].
