CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC)- The commercial shrimp trawling season in South Carolina state waters opened at 8 a.m. Thursday.

An unusually cool spring has resulted in slower growth than normal, resulting in slightly smaller shrimp, but shrimp are mature and spawning on schedule, according to SCDNR Director of Office of Fisheries Management Mel Bell said.

 "Although coastal water temperatures, which influence shrimp growth and maturation, have fluctuated through several swings above and below average since January, they finally became more conducive for promoting a good spawn in our near shore waters in mid-May. This is certainly different from last year when unusually warm winter and spring water temperatures resulted in an early spawn of our white shrimp and an opening of state waters to trawling by mid-April," said Bell.
