| | Maine Shrimp, Pandalus Borealis |
 | | As winter in Michigan crawls through the long, dark month of January, there arises in the mind of this mufflered and down-smothered land mammal the small, bright memory of a special treat from the sea that will soon, contrary to all ordinary expectations, make its brief annual appearance at our local fishmonger’s. |
 | | Maine shrimp, or Pandalus borealis, are a small wonder of nature’s bounty in mid-winter. |
 | | With this ingenious means to maximize reproduction, Maine shrimp are an important link in marine food chains, feeding on plankton and sea-bed invertebrates, and being consumed in turn by cod, redfish, silver and white hake. |
