Tide-pool Scud
Gammarus oceanicus
59.6354, -151.538
Field Notes
Description:
Tiny shrimp ranging from pencil lead size to about 3/4 of an inch. The coloration varied from tiny white ones, to these black ones, and some brown.
Habitat:
Saltwater, tide pool.
Notes:
I was rolling rocks along the beach and came across hundreds of these little guys. I assume they are a primary source of food for the shorebirds.
