This is a brief story about the our cultured Hawaiian Shrimp (Halocaridina rubra) or as the Hawaiians named them Opa'e ula.
These small, red shrimp are endemic to the Hawaiian Island. They are restricted to brackish water pools in recent coastal lavas located on the island of Hawaii and other islands through out the Indo-Pacific regions. The habitat of the shrimp consists of brackish water pools occurring in depressions, cracks, and crevices in the lava which extend to the water table. These Anchialine ponds consists of mixohaline groundwater underlying these lavas is derived from the dilution of seaward percolation freshwater and intrusive seawater. Characteristically, the pools are connected to this water through subterranean channels and interstices in the lavas and exhibit a dampened tidal rhythm.
