(AP) — The chief concerns Louisiana shrimpers have had about foreign shrimp involved the low prices they forced onto the market.Now, wildlife experts say the appearance of giant tiger prawns in Gulf of Mexico waters are also reason for alarm. They want fishermen to let them know if they find any in their nets.”So far, they’ve been taken in waters near Lafitte, Grand Isle and Venice,” said Martin Bourgeois, the biologist who heads the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries’ shrimp program.
