Redfish can eat whole crab. Will have zero trouble with those things. We need to figure out how to catch them in numbers.

My guess is they would do more harm then good. Just a feeling I have.

The chef use to serve them as a special at a restaurant I worked at a few years back. Their taste/texture is almost identical to a large shrimp.

Unless they have a negative impact on the current shrimp populations I don't see how it could be a bad thing.

You're gonna have to get that larger 3" AVET reel for the pigs you're gonna catch.

Tiger shrimp feed on other shrimp, could throw off the delicate ecosystem.
