Atya innocuous
Summary 2
Atya innocuous is a rare species in the guts in St. Thomas, U.S Virgin Islands. I believe it is a bio-indicator of water quality. During my M.S research at the University of the Virgin Islands I did not collect very many of this species in surveys. It is 1 or 5 species of shrimp. Atya innocuous resembles Atya lanipes, which is also present in guts in St. Thomas. This species is brown and tan in color, sometimes appearing though it has blotches and sometimes appearing a solid brown color.
