Or. Admin. Code § 635-005-0645 - Maximum Count Per Pound

(1) It is unlawful to possess or land pink shrimp from any one trip or landing which exceeds an average count of 160 whole shrimp per pound. This rule shall not apply to landings or possession of less than 3,000 pounds of pink shrimp.

(2) To determine average count per pound when a landing exceeds 3,000 pounds of shrimp, one sample must be taken from each one thousand pounds up to a maximum requirement of 20 samples. The sampling unit shall consist of at least one pound of whole unbroken shrimp.

(3) For the purpose of determining count per pound "whole shrimp" and "whole unbroken shrimp" are defined as shrimp in which the body is substantially intact, including an identifiable carapace, abdomen, and telson (tail). It is not intended to require shrimp to have an unbroken rostrum, complete set of legs, antennae, or other appendages.
