Growth Of The Shrimp, Penaeus Aztecus, Fed A Diet Of Live Mysids (Crustacea: Mysidacea), John Ogle, Wayne Price
Gulf and Caribbean Research
Commercial brown shrimp (Penaeus aztecus) were shown to consume large numbers of mysid shrimp (Mysidopsis almyra) under laboratory conditions. Growth of shrimp fed a diet of mysids was comparable to growth of shrimp fed a diet of Artemia nauplii. It is suggested that mysid shrimp may serve as a food source for juvenile penaeid shrimp in northwestern Gulf coast estuaries.

Gulf and Caribbean Research
Mark-recapture experiments conducted in a small 17.5 ha lake in Barataria Bay, Louisiana, were used to estimate the efficiency of a 4.9-m (16-foot) otter trawl in capturing brown shrimp, Atlantic croaker, and spot in water 1.5 m deep. The trawl was observed to sweep an area 2.5 m in width. Trawl efficiency was determined to be approximately one-third to one-half for brown shrimp, one-fourth for Atlantic croaker, and only 6 percent for spot.
