Humpy (Coonstripe) Shrimp
Pandalus goniurus

The humpy is similar in appearance to the dock shrimp, except the stripes of the humpy are red to orange in color (compare to brown in the dock shrimp).

This is a small shrimp, not exceeding three inches (7.5 cm) in length, excluding the antennae. Another key for identification is the third tail segment, which is enlarged, causing a definite humpback appearance. The spines do not extend to the outer half of the snout (rostrum). Humpies are occasionally captured near the San Juan Islands.
