Top Argentine Stiletto Shrimp Fishing Countries

The Argentine stiletto shrimp (Artemesia longinaris) is a slender, commercially valuable shrimp species native to the southwestern Atlantic, particularly along the coasts of Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil. Renowned for its delicate flavor and economic importance, this shrimp is primarily targeted by trawl fisheries. Argentina is the leading country in harvesting the Argentine stiletto shrimp, with significant landings also reported in Uruguay and Brazil. The fishery is a vital sector for coastal communities, supporting both local consumption and export markets, especially to Europe and Asia. Sustainable management practices and quota systems are increasingly emphasized to ensure the long-term viability of this important marine resource.
