Palaemonetes kadiakensis, the Mississippi grass shrimp, is a species of freshwater shrimp from the Central United States, specifically the Mississippi River Basin[2]
Early Development
The eggs of Palaemonetes kadiakensis are 1.4 mm. long or about one twenty-fifth of the adult length.[3] In laboratory settings the incubation period of Palaemonetes kadiakensis eggs has been observed to be 24–28 days.[3]
After hatching a Palaemonetes kadiakensis will go through six distinct larval stages before reaching its final adult form.[4] Among larvae reared in experiments, the duration of larval life was 16 to 24 days and the average length of larval life was 19.64 days.[4] In laboratory settings the larvae are fed Artemia salina Nauplius[3] or 100-500 micron sized commercial feed.
