Crangon septemspinosa (sevenspine bay shrimp zoea)

Collected: April, 2005 5 km off of Assateague, VA sampling just above the bottom using an epibenthic sled (363 micrometer mesh) in 8-9 m depths.

Notes: This larva has a dorsal spine on the abdomen and thus superficially resembles the ghost shrimps, but note the long rostrum on Crangon. The telsons are also distinctive
