Sediment samples from 108 stations in and around Florida Bay were examined for their 
benthonic foraminiferal content. This paper deals primarily with the taxonomy of the 
benthonic foraminiferal species and their distribution in sediments. 235 species 
belonging to 99 genera were identified. Five faunal groups were recognized and these 
correlated in a general way with areal changes in the physical environment.

shrimp, Penaeus duorarum of the Tortugas and Sanibel Grounds, Florida. Fish. Bull. . 
65:449-59. 
Pink shrimp, Penaeus duorarum, frequent the estuarine waters of south Florida as 
juveniles. As adults, they support valuable fisheries on the offshore Tortugas and 
Sanibel trawling grounds in the Gulf of Mexico. To study the Tortugas and Sanibel 
shrimp stocks as biological units, 15 mark-recovery experiments in which biological 
stains were the marking agents were made. These experiments indicated: (1) timing 
and direction of shrimp migrations; (2) delineated estuarine nursery grounds; and (3) 
outlined geographic ranges of Tortugas and Sanibel shrimp stocks. Prior to migrating 
offshore, the length of time spent by juvenile pink shrimp in the nursery areas varies 
from about 2 to at least 6 months. In migrating from nursery areas, some shrimp 
travel at least 150 n mi before recovery on the offshore grounds. Although migration 
routes are broad, shrimp emanating from particular sections of the nursery grounds 
demonstrate distinct distributional patterns on the offshore grounds. The nursery 
grounds of the Tortugas shrimp stocks include Florida Bay and estuaries extending at 
least as far north as Indian Key on the southwest coast of Florida. The nursery grounds 
of the Sanibel shrimp stocks are confined to the southwest coast of Florida and include 
estuaries extending at least from Indian Key north to Pine Island Sound. The geographic 
ranges of the Tortugas and Sanibel pink shrimp stocks overlap in the nursery areas 
near Indian Key and in the offshore water between the two trawling grounds. 
Apparently, Tortugas shrimp do not migrate to the Sanibel grounds and migration from 
the Sanibel to the Tortugas grounds is minimal The geographic distributions depicted 
may constitute minimums for two reasons: First, the absence of fishing effort in 
certain contiguous areas prevented observation, which could extend the known 
distribution. Second larval and postlarval pink shrimp may migrate to or from areas 
beyond the ranges frequented by Tortugas and Sanibel shrimp as juveniles and adults.

[NO COPY OF PAPER AVAILABLE. ABSTRACT FROM SCHMIDT (1991).] Pink shrimp were 
captured, stain-marked, and released for recapture in 17 experiments in the following 
areas: Flamingo, Petersen Keys, Shark River and Bottle Key in Everglades National 
Park; Biscayne Bay, Lower Matecumbe Key, Barnes Sound, Hawk Channel, Pine Island 
Sound, Dry Tortugas Grounds, Sanibel Grounds, and Indian Key. Data reported includes 
location, date of release and recapture of shrimp, number, size, and sex of shrimp, and 
the stains used.
