"The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has temporarily closed some local waterways to shrimping [...] in the Mississippi Sound, Mobile Bay, areas of Bon Secour, Wolf Bay, and Little Lagoon.
The closure is in response to routine shrimp sampling that indicated the average size were smaller than 68 head-on shrimp per pound. [...]
And we’d like to clarify that the closures were not due to lesions being found on shrimp as we reported earlier this weekend and Monday morning.
Shrimps with 68 heads - WOW!
Sounds like the closing was because the shrimp are too small, not because they are grotesquely deformed, as claimed.
I wonder if the shrimp being smaller has anything to do with these footlong cannibal shrimp that are eating the other shrimp. And my question is how we end up with shrimp that are supposed to live halfway across the globe (somewhere in the Orient, I thought) in the Gulf of Mexico instead, where there isn’t the ecosystem to hold them in balance.
I hoped they had started to find shrimp with two tails.
