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.

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

Imagine the impact it will have on the growth rate/size of off-shore fish. Even if they creep into the costal waters. The fat arse trout and reds will be nice.

I wonder if their is any negative aspects to worry about from the bug beautiful shrimp.
