Today's Main Story: Late run continues to make DFO's estimates of overall Fraser sockeye returns uncertain 

A late sockeye run is preventing Fraser River fish managers from making a final confirmation on the number of fish but officials say estimations are strong. The overall run is estimated at 20.7 million fish. It’s believed anywhere between three and six million sockeye are holding up in salt water where the north, middle and main arms of the Fraser River spill into the Straight of Georgia. Fish managers have strong expectations for the final Fraser River count when the fish do move. “If we've still got three million out there, and those fish have less than 10 per cent mortality, then you are going to see an abundance of fish on the spawning grounds," said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist with the Pacific Salmon Commission.

Shrimp farmers in India’s Andhra Pradesh want parts of the region declared a national hub for shrimp hatcheries in order to protect it from further developments. This proposal follows another plan that would build a port in the Kakinada Special Economic Zone. “The proposed port will spell doom to the shrimp hatcheries catering to the needs of farmers in Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, the proposal should be given up,” said L Satyanarayana, President of the All-India Shrimp Hatcheries’ Association.

In other news analysts say Red Lobster’s limited-time Endless Shrimp promotion is likely part of the restaurant industry’s efforts to stymie a seasonal drop in restaurant performance after Labor Day. According to restaurant industry analysts at Cardlytics, September is a historically slow time for the restaurant business with the return of back-to-school routines and no major holidays to help drive traffic. Cardlytics say chains attempt to drive traffic during this time with short-lived all-you-can-eat and other fixed-price promotions.

Finally, Mississippi’s Department of Marine Resources said there will be an oyster season in Mississippi Sound beginning in October that could last through the winter. The season will run on an open-ended schedule and only for the tonging reefs; dredging will not be permitted. Fishermen say the Sound‘s oyster reef conditions are quite poor.
