Invasive Parasite Killing Mud Shrimp

[Spade]

Anyone ever hear about this? I'm finding articles from last year and older yet never heard about this till just now.

In the first article it is misleading that the word Sand shrimp is used...

They refering to the Blue Mud shrimp, a larger crawdad looking shrimp found only in certain areas of the Northwest. I do not often share locations since their numbers are small and they are often hard to find. I have used these for bait for both sturgeon and salmon and found them to be very effective. Hope they can do something to save them.....

It is intersting that the invasive attack is not also causing the sand shrimp any problems but the line in the first article looks to be a mistake on the authors part.

I wonder what the difference between the Blue Mud Shrimp and the Sand Shrimp is...... ah hah! http://www.nwrc.usgs.gov/wdb/pub/spe.../82_11-093.pdf
Google is awesome. I'm reading through that article to see if they feed differently or something of that nature.

Nice find : ) I know they live in different types of sand/mud...And can you guess how they each got their names? "laughs"

HAHA.

BTW, I found a way to keep the shrimp on the hook forever!

I saw something on Oregon Field Guide like 10 years ago about the parasites.
