What is the ecological and environmental importance of salinity/oxygen consumption of grass shrimp?

Solution

Grass shrimp acts as detritivores,grass shrimp aid in the mechanical break down of organic matter such as fibrous plant materials into tiny particles that are suspended in the water column, and thus provides rich food source for smaller organisms. Predation : In estuaries, numerous fish species and other aquatic carnivores , eat large quantities of grass shrimp. Grass shrimp are hosts for numerous species of parasites and ectocommensals. Grass shrimp is pollution tolerant and live in areas of high salinity. It consumes algae and seagrasses, therefore plays an important role in the ecology of the estuary.
