characteristics, benthic communities, and the release 

 of nutrients into the water column (Ott et al. 1976, 

 Posey 1986a,b). The nature of their effect on the pen- 

 aeid culture is unknown. Based on our observations it 

 appears that, at least during some growing cycles, the 

 activity of L. sinuensis can prevent pond-grown 

 penaeid shrimp from reaching a marketable size and 

 weight. However, the exact short-term and long-term 

 effects caused by this new species on the culture will 

 have to be investigated.

We thank J.V. Mogollon, J. Araujo, A. P. Serna, and 

 other staff of Agrosoledad S.A. for providing us with 

 the opportunity to study the material, and their help 

 and hospitality during our stay in Cartagena. Our 

 trip to Colombia was possible thanks to the funds 

 provided by Agrosoledad S.A., at the request of J.V. 

 Mogollon, who has been instrumental in the success- 

 ful development of shrimp mariculture in Colombia. 

 The critical reading of the manuscript by D.L. Felder 

 and R.B. Griffis, and their comments, are gratefully 

 acknowledged.
