Sea Creatures 101: The Life of Your Seafood: Shrimp

Shrimp eat whatever they can find where they live. Most of that will be polychaete worms, amphipods, nematodes, crustacean larvae, isopods, copepods, small fish, grass shrimp, fiddler crabs, and square-back crabs. Some people think that shrimp have a sense of smell because oily fish, used as bait, is very effective in catching shrimp. So, NOW how are you feeling about that shrimp you had for dinner? HMMM?
