BILOXI, Miss. (AP) - Mississippi Department of Marine Resources
agents say the shrimp in Mississippi Sound are still too small to
open the 2009 season.
So Louisiana shrimp were being sold at Biloxi's commercial
harbor.
Officials say they don't know when the Mississippi season will
open.
A spokesperson said the Mississippi Sound water is warming up,
which is helping shrimp grow faster.
Tuesday's sample netted 83 count shrimp. Until that total gets
down to 68, Mississippi waters will remain closed.

Bubba: Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
