Sediment organic content and silt + clay content were higher in burrow-wall sediments than in ejected sediment, which in turn tended to have values above those of surface sediments. Sediment ejected by the shrimp from their burrows had elevated levels of Zn (relative to surface sediments) at one of the sites. Levels of both Zn and Cd were significantly higher in burrow walls than in surface sediments. Densities of ghost shrimp (Sergio trilobata and Lepidophthalmus louisianensis) averaged 33/m2 at our sites, and they ejected sediment at an average rate of 28 g/ burrow/day. Ghost shrimp densities and their rate of sediment ejection were also quantified, as were sediment organic content and silt + clay content. We measured levels of HNO3-extractable zinc and cadmium in surface sediment, in ghost shrimp burrow walls and in sediment ejected by the ghost shrimp from their burrows, at five sandy intertidal sites in Tampa Bay. This study investigated the effects that ghost shrimp have on the distribution of metals in sediment. Įffects of ghost shrimp on zinc and cadmium in sediments from Tampa Bay, FL Our study determines the genetic structure of shrimp populations in order to gain.

Dense populations of shrimp are found in the major estuaries of Washington and Oregon.

The burrowing ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, is a vital member of the estuarine benthic community. Strong population genetic structure and larval dispersal capability of the burrowing ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis)
