150 Live Pk Shrimp (Mississippi Grass Shrimp, Palaemonetes kadiakensis) - $94 - (Monroe, LA)

150 fresh-caught live Pk shrimp (freshwater Mississippi Grass Shrimp, Palaemonetes kadiakensis for planted aquariums or pond stocking. As of May 28 I have been catching about 40% to 60% berried up with eggs and should continue through June. Adults grow to a maximum of 1.5" body length. The young generation shrimp that start to show up in July ship very well through the hot summer months. This is the only truly freshwater shrimp species that is cold hardy enough to be stocked throughout the majority of the country. All other grass shrimp species are either brackish water species or not sufficiently cold hardy. These make excellent forage food for game fish. On multiple occasions I have seen panfish ignoring worms, crickets, and minnows completely, and the one person fishing with grass shrimp was catching fish. I catch these shrimp from my pond in north Louisiana, 35 miles south of the Arkansas border, by order, so they are not starving or stressing for months before-hand in a holding tank. This area has had ice on non-flowing waterways 3 out of 4 of recent winters, with lows of 12F, 14F, 15F, and 6F in 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2018. This past winter the ice froze so thick over the entire area I catch these shrimp that you could walk across the entire body of water (more than a football field wide), and all the wild threadfin shad were winter-killed. These are the same species of shrimp that range all the way up to the southern marshes of Lake Erie and west to southern Minnesota. I ship in bags filled with water and pure oxygen. This is a much better substitute to the pet store ghost shrimp.
