Do northern shrimp visit the Maine Coast to lay eggs?

Excerpt:

After spawning and egg extrusion in summer, ovigerous females move to coastal waters in late autumn, where eggs hatch in wintertime. Juveniles remain inshore for more than a year and then migrate offshore as they begin to mature.


Northern or pink shrimp, Pandalus borealis, are distributed discontinuously throughout boreal waters of the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Arctic Oceans.. .
