| Notes | This PowerPoint presentation was part of a final project for the undergraduate class Biology 450, Marine Biology. The authors examined the distribution of four species of shrimp in different environments: in the main channel of Yaquina Bay, on a nearby beach, and offshore. The bay shrimp was the most prevalent species in the bay, while the Alaskan bay shrimp dominated offshore. The authors endeavored to learn where the most gravid Alaskan bay shrimp females were to be found, but found no difference in the percentage of gravid females between channel and offshore habitats, which raises the questions, where do they spawn? and is salinity a predictor of gravidity in Crangon females? More research is needed. |
