Growth of the Sand Shrimp, Crangon septemspinosa, in Rhode Island

Growth rate of the sand shrimp, Crangon septemspinosa, in Rhode Island waters is directly proportional to water temperature. For individuals 20-30 mm long, growth is less than 0.4 mm/week during the winter (average water temperature 5 C) and greater than 1.1 mm/week during the summer (20 C). Smaller...

Zusammenfassung:Growth rate of the sand shrimp, Crangon septemspinosa, in Rhode Island waters is directly proportional to water temperature. For individuals 20-30 mm long, growth is less than 0.4 mm/week during the winter (average water temperature 5 C) and greater than 1.1 mm/week during the summer (20 C). Smaller shrimp (20-30 mm) grow faster than larger shrimp (40-50 mm). Linear relationships between length and weight are derived.
