Spot Prawn

Pandalus platyceros

Notes:

The spot prawn is the largest shrimp in the U.S. West Coast. This shrimp has a big problem: it's one of the reef fishes' favorite foods. Though it hides 700 feet (213 meters) deep in rocky canyons, the prawn also falls prey to the commercial fishers of Monterey Bay
