Monster Shrimp taking over Volusia County's Waters

tiger-shrimp-0506
Finding tiger shrimp off the Volusia coast in Florida is becoming more and more common. Tiger shrimp are huge compared to the average shrimp. The tiger shrimp were introduced to the Volusia coast in 1988, but since they have become more common to local fishermen, it is believed that the multiplying population could eventually take over the current shrimp. However, the tiger shrimp have been eaten by locals, and they say that they are quite tasty. Local fisherman say that if they need, they will begin to sell these shrimp. These shrimp have been found to be 12 inches long and as thick as a banana. They definitely make a shrimp out of the current shrimp.
