Post by: PolarBear on April 28, 2012, 09:41:51 AM: They mad it to the gulf probably either from switching currents or from the balast water from ships.

here's one article about it. Seems likely they escaped from aquaculture. For the sound, the invasive I usually hear concern about is Atlantic Salmon.

Post by: TWG2A on April 28, 2012, 12:18:02 PM: One can purchase tiger shrimp from seafood shops, but they're about 6 inches long, at most.

I wonder if they're like lobster in that the larger they are, the tougher and less tasty they are.

I'd be willing to try one. After they're tested with geiger, of course.
