New shrimp species found in Burapha University

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Researchers of Prince of Songkhla and Burapha universities have found a new shrimp species in pond and waterways on the campus of Buraphana University.

 

The discovery of the shrimp species, formally named “Floresorchestia buraphana Wongkhamhaeng, Dumrongrojwattana and Pattaratumrong 2016”, was published in an international journal on November 23.

 

Assistant professor Pongrat Dumrongrojwattana of the Faculty of Science of Burapha University said Thursday that the first Floresorchestia shrimp was found in natural water sources in Khao Samroi Yod in Prachuab Khiri Khan but it was of different species from the ones found on the campus of Burapha University.

I hope they checked for contaminants in the water....they look deformed.

Did it use fake papers to get in?

If the shrimp has luck on it's side it it may be unsuited for human consumption. If it is appealingly edible then in all probability it will be fished to extinction.

Freshwater Biome - Animal Facts and Information

"Some that people never consider though include ditches, gutters, canals, and even puddles. They too can be a freshwater biome due to the fact that life will use them for survival. "

 

Just guessing.
