The giant Asian shrimp that have invaded Louisiana waters, capable of growing longer than a foot and weighing a pound or more, likely are here to stay, according to federal scientists.

A recent study reports that the enormous shrimp invaders will become “established” in the Gulf of Mexico within 10 years. That means the species is becoming a self-sustaining, breeding population and was not just a sudden boom that soon will vanish.

If they taste the same, then who cares?

Honestly, am I missing something?

Only reason I see a problem is if they get tough, otherwise it looks like another yummy food source...

Exactly. More meat less peeling. That is of course unless they taste like a crack whores arse crack. Then we have problems.

whenever you have a foreign species forming a habitat in strange bodies of water there is going to be repercussions.. whether or not it is good or bad we will have to see

possibly reducing the native shrimp population which could be beneficial or detrimental.

Can the predators that eat shrimp now catch and eat these larger shrimp as easily?
Will these new shrimp predate other gulf species.
