Abstract
Sexual maturity of female northern shrimp Pandalus borealis in the Denmark Strait was calculated from logistic curves for the years 1985-93 and compared to similar data from nearby offshore and inshore shrimp grounds in Icelandic waters. The median maturity lengths of females in the Denmark Strait were by far the largest through all the years, at 27.9 mm on average compared to 23.8-24.3 mm for the nearest offshore Icelandic waters and 18.9-20.8 mm for four inshore areas. The differences in mean median maturity lengths of females could be related to differences in near-bottom water temperature.
