Huge, Invasive Asian Tiger Prawns Infiltrate the Gulf Coast
Nearly 100 sightings of the giant tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon) have been reported in Louisiana waters in 2011, according to Houma Today, a big jump from the 25 to 30 reported in past years. Considering that some of the sightings numbered close to 100 individuals, there seems to be a growing population of the nonnative shrimp prowling Gulf waters.
