This zone includes marsh, beach, tidal creek, and tidal flat habitats. The problem was complicated because of the variation in tides, bottom composition, vegetation, and water depth. Allen and Inglis (1958) described a push net and Renfro (1963) described a small beam trawl that can be used in the shore zones to sample small shrimpabundancebiologicalbiological samplingBrown shrimpestuariesFisheriesGalveston Bayhabitathabitatsintertidal environmentLaboratoriesLitopenaeus setiferusNetsNorthern white shrimpPenaeusPenaeus aztecusPopulation densityQ1 01382 Ecological techniques and apparatusSamplingTidesUSAvegetationwaterwater depthWhite shrimpJournal
