The shrimp Palaemon serratus of the infraorder Caridea. A shrimp (pl.: shrimp or shrimps ()) is a crustacean (a form of shellfish) with an elongated body and a primarily swimming mode of locomotion – typically belonging to the Caridea or Dendrobranchiata of the order Decapoda, although some crustaceans outside of this order are also referred to as "shrimp".
This is a list of invertebrates, animals without a backbone, that are commonly kept in freshwater aquaria by hobby aquarists. Numerous shrimp species of various kinds, crayfish , a number of freshwater snail species, and at least one freshwater clam species are found in freshwater aquaria or '0' salinity water body.
Like other Macrobrachium species, the Ohio shrimp is amphidromous. The larvae must live in saltwater and move to fresh water as adults. This is accomplished by having the larvae drift, free-floating, down the river until they reach water where the salinity is high enough to support them. Females carrying eggs may also migrate downstream before ...
Palaemon paludosus lives in fresh water or slightly brackish water, usually in lakes. [3] It is nocturnal, remaining hidden among the vegetation by day, and emerging at night to feed on plankton. [6] It is an important prey item for a number of birds and fishes, [7] such as black bass, [8] and may be considered a keystone species. [9]
