Palaemon elegans sometimes known by the common name rockpool shrimp, is a
Mediterranean and the Black Sea, and introduced in the Caspian and Aral seas. It is similar to three other members of the genus Palaemon: Palaemon serratus, Palaemon longirostris and Palaemon adspersus, and has displaced or replaced populations of Palaemon adspersus in some locations.[1][2] It is considered an invasive species in parts of the United States.[3]
