Scientists now have evidence that yet another invasive the aquatic species – the bloody red shrimp – is established in all five Great Lakes.
Using traps and nets, researchers last summer collected dozens of adult and juvenile specimens, including pregnant females, at Wisconsin Point and the Montreal Pier in Duluth-Superior Harbor, according to a new study.
