Northern (Rough) Pink Shrimp


The northern pink shrimp is less than six inches (15 cm) long, smaller
than the spot shrimp and the sidestripe shrimp.
It can be distinguished
from ocean pink shrimp by a small spine on the top of the third tail segment.
Northern pink shrimp are found primarily in the San Juan Islands,
Strait of Juan de Fuca, and in northern Puget Sound.
