shipping experiment free Palaemonetes vulgaris

[acroboy]

I want to work with shipping grass shrimp( Palaemonetes vulgaris) in the future. I want to try and figure out the best possible survival rates and amounts of specimans in shipping, while keeping shipping cost at a minimum. I am going to make an attempt to do so before winter but if that fails I will do it in spring. Anyone interested can just pay exact postage U.S. priority and we'll see the survival rate. Again I'm doing this for future wholesale consideration and the marine shrimp are free. It may be a way for me to share this resource I have with retailers so people can give a healthy food without having to give up there first born to do so. Then again it may be somthing I shouldn't get involved with. Anyway if you P.M. me with an address I'll keep you posted and give it a whirl. Again these are wild caught shrimp and from what I've seen most are that are available. They will survive a prolonged bath in fresh water .

They take shipping quite well in my experience. Five or six to a typical bag, same deal as fish. You might be able to cram them, havent tried it. Priority is fine, they just dont take extreme temperatures well. (Of course.)

Acro, What size and will they breed? Not to give myself away, but y'all know what I'm thinkin? Is that okay?
Have never dealt with live food that isn't already in the tank..

 

[Poniegirl]

And Fred, WOE is a pita border?
And, uh, there's not enough oil in Canada.

Poniegirl,
What makes it nice is there are billions of loaded females It's amazing to watch them pump their planctonic fry out.


I will let everyone know how collecting goes Sunday.

Sooner or later I have to figure out how to ship thousands.

[ClamIAm]

These live in brackish water normally right?

 

[acroboy]

These are caught in a full marine environment but they are able to tolerate varied salinity.

 

[Poniegirl]

Count me in. Just let me know what I need to do. And thank you!

 

[acroboy]
