A big increase in reports of Asian tiger shrimp along the U.S. Southeast coast and in the Gulf of Mexico has federal biologists worried the species is encroaching on native species' territory.
The shrimp are known to eat their smaller cousins, and sightings of the massive crustaceans have gone up tenfold in the last year, biologists say.
The black-and-white-striped shrimp can grow 13 inches long and weigh a quarter-pound, compared to eight inches and a bit over an ounce for domestic white, brown and pink shrimp.

“They are gonna need bigger treadmills”
Watch a Federal grant start up demanding a billion dollars to put these monster shrimp on treadmills.
The shrimp boats will just use larger nets so the smaller locals shrimp get filtered out.
They are very good and eaten all over Southeast Asia. Steamed with butter to dip them in is excellent. A couple of curry dishes are the ticket if you like hot. They seem to catch all different varieties of shrimp as well as “farmed” shrimp. Fish sauce is made from fermented shrimp but I don’t know the size.
As they say...”Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez”
I’m diving the Gulf Coast this weekend. We wouldn’t mind removing a few. They would be like stuffing a turkey....

Being a foot long afterall, perhaps “shrimp” is not the appropriate name for the creature.

The Cajuns will figure out how to make them taste great. That will control the population. This Alabama boy loves that Cajun cooking!
I think we’re going to need a bigger barbecue grill.
Shrimp Shrinkage?
Isn’t this just survival of the fittest, competition, a proof of Darwin’s theory?
If so, should we be interfering?
