Verified reports of Asian tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in the Gulf of Mexico from US Geological Survey's Nonindigenous Aquatic Species database. The first confirmed specimens of Asian tiger shrimp taken from the Gulf of Mexico were in December 2007. Introductions of tiger shrimp into the southeastern US are most likely explained by escapement from aquaculture facilities following flooding by storms and hurricanes, or through migration from areas where tiger shrimp have previously become established in the wild. Although they are less probable, other pathways of introduction (e.g. ballast water discharge) are also possible. Currently, the impacts of this invasive shrimp on the native fauna in areas where it has been introduced are uncertain. |
