P. borealis is an important food resource, and is widely fished. Its distribution in the Atlantic ranges from New England, Canada's eastern seaboard, southern and eastern Greenland, Iceland, Svalbard, Norway and the North Sea as far south as the English Channel. In the Pacific, it is found from Japan, through the Sea of Okhotsk, across the Bering Strait, and as far south in North America as Washington state. They live at depths of between 10 and 500 m, usually on soft muddy bottoms, in waters between 2°C and 14°C. In their 3-4 year lifespan, individuals can reach a length of 120 mm, with a carapace 35 mm long. Download high resolution version (976x667, 66 KB)A heap of Pandalus borealis shrimp. ...
