LINDNER spring months in the brackish inside areas which serve as their nursery grounds for the next four to eight weeks of their existence. This hahitat is a rich feeding ground characterized hy shallow water, muddy bottoms, rather widely fluctuating seasonal temperatures, and moderate to low salinity. Numerous seine and frame-net col- lections in these areas have yielded quantities of small shrimp 7 to 10 mm. in length; whereas frequent hauls with the same gear during the same period along the ocean and Gulf heaches have failed to yield any P. sctijcrus of this size, although other species of shrimp were found. As the young grow, they move from the shallow waters of marsh, bayou, and lagoon into the deeper creeks, rivers, and bays, making their first appearance on the inside fishing grounds when about 50 mm. long. In Louisiana the lower limit of the size distributions obtained from operations with commercial gear in the fishery was 43 mm., in Georgia 58 mm., and in Texas 63 mm.
