Killer Shrimp “Dikerogammarus Villosus” Found
Dikerogammarus Villosus, aka Killer Shrimp has been found at Grafham Water in Cambridgeshire, UK. The Environment Agency has issued an alert over the presence of the “killer shrimp” which threatens local wildlife.
Apparently these foreign shrimp, which are native to waters between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, have chosen the native shrimp as one of their main targets for killing; and as they can grow as large as 30mm in length, these killers most be an imposing predator for the poor native English shrimp. Authorities believe that the killer shrimp have invaded their waters via the Danube River.
