So if this feller sells them for $10.00 per 12 shrimp, I was netting bout $6.00 each time. (Now at 24,I am thinking I shouldn't have gone to college w/this lucrative grass shrimp market developing.)
I guess that makes me a millionaire.
I get 6-12 shrimp per scoop. I've got over 20 per scoop several times. I netted around 175 of them in a friend's lake, and stocked them less than 2 years ago. They appear to be a better investment than alpacas, ostriches, and chinchillas.
@Jakeb: Click my sig to see a pic of P. kadiakensis and compare to yours. They're very hardy, so I'm betting yours is a brackish water variety. You can always add a little salt to your aquarium.
