White Shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus)

North Inlet - Winyah Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. Edible shrimps, like this white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus, depend on healthy estuaries for their survival. They enter the estuary from the ocean as minute post larvae and return as adults in the span of just a few months.
