Freshwater shrimps are sensitive to changes in their environment, making them effective bioindicators of pollution. Their health and population dynamics can be affected by pollutants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and organic compounds, leading to changes in behavior, reproduction, and mortality rates. Monitoring shrimp populations and their physiological responses can provide insights into water quality and the presence of harmful substances in aquatic ecosystems. Thus, declines in shrimp populations or changes in their health can signal environmental degradation and pollution.

What do freshwater shrimps eat?
They drink water! They do drink water BUT..... Freshwater Shrimps are omnivores and detritivores (They eat dead plants at the bottom of the pond).
Are scuds also called freshwater shrimp and sideswimmers?
They are also called sideswimmers, but they are really not freshwater shrimps, though some people call them that. They are a type of amphipod, which is related to freshwater shrimps.
How algae and freshwater shrimps are used to measure pollution in water?
Algae and freshwater shrimp serve as bioindicators for measuring water pollution due to their sensitivity to changes in their environment. Algae can indicate nutrient levels, such as nitrogen and phosphorus, as their growth rates respond to excess nutrients from pollution. Freshwater shrimp, on the other hand, can be assessed for their health and diversity; declines in their population or changes in behavior can signal the presence of toxins or degraded water quality. Together, these organisms help monitor ecosystem health and the impact of human activities on aquatic environments.
Can both freshwater frogs and shrimps live together?
no
Where do shrimps grow?
Shrimps grow in both saltwater and freshwater environments. They can be found in coastal waters, estuaries, and even some freshwater lakes and rivers. Shrimps usually live on the ocean floor, hiding in crevices or burrowing in the sand.
What do playtapuses eat?
It feeds on annelid worms and insect larvae, freshwater shrimps, and yabbies (freshwater crayfish).
What species indicate pollution in fresh water?
Some species that can indicate pollution in fresh water include certain types of algae (e.g. green algae blooms), macroinvertebrates like mayflies and stoneflies that are sensitive to pollution, and certain fish species like carp that can thrive in degraded water conditions. Monitoring the presence and abundance of these species can help determine the level of pollution in a freshwater ecosystem.
What type of environment do shrimps live in?
This depends on the shrimp varieties, such as freshwater shrimp or shrimp seawater inside ?
Is groundwater a bad source of freshwater?
yes pollution
How does a duckbill platyplus know if the shrimps and crayfish are in freshwater to eat?
A Duckbill Platypus knows that there are shrimps and crayfish in the fresh water by using its electro receptors on its bill to sense them. Go to http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/duckbill_platypus.htm for more infomation.
How mayfly indicate pollution?
because they are sensitive to pollution and that how you can tell how polluted a river is
Do yabbys live in the Pacific Ocean?
Yes; these are marine yabbies - ghost shrimps - not used as food, but sometimes as bait. Freshwater yabbies are a crayfish, and good to eat.
