Shrimper

Many shrimpers complain that the crabbers place their traps too close together and that they can't go between the traps without snagging their nets.

On Monday, Mr. Luong, a Vietnamese immigrant who has been working in Bayou La Batre as a shrimper, and his wife, Ngoc Phan, 23, contacted the police to report that their children were missing, Chief Joyner said.
