Humpback (Coonstripe) Shrimp
Pandalus hypsinotus

This species of coonstripe shrimp is a mottled reddish-brown in color, with some white patches on the lower head and tail. There is a prominent ridge or hump on the head, with 17 to 21 spines running down the head and snout.

This is the largest of the three coonstripes, and may attain lengths of up to seven inches (19 cm), excluding the antennae. They are commonly found in the Strait of Juan de Fuca, around the San Juan Islands, and in northern and central Puget Sound.
