Abstract: 

Freshwater shrimp from the Quebrada Prieta (a tributary to the Sonadora in the Espiritu Santu drainage, have been censused 6 times yearly since 1988. Atya lanipes, Xiphocaris elongata and Macrobrachium spp. are regularly captured and comprise the species in this data base.

Methodology

Methods: 

Shrimp are sampled during six periods each year. Each period represents a two month range (e.g. period 1 = January-February; period 2 = March-April, etc.). Wire minnow traps, baited with cat food are placed into the stream during the late afternoon and retrieved the following morning. All shrimp from each trap are enumerated by species and released.
