First decision

Receive and transfer shipped shrimp

Shrimp have arrived and must move from source or shipping water.

Use the whole card. The action stays attached to what must be observed and recorded, plus the nearest inference or action the current guidance cannot support.

Observe first

Inspect package condition and animals, then measure source and receiving temperature and relevant dissolved-property differences.

First action

Choose and execute a deliberate transfer plan that limits continued package exposure and avoids adding source water to the receiving system when practical.

Record next

Record package time, condition, source and receiving measurements, transfer method, duration, original denominator and delayed outcomes.

Stop boundary

Do not use one fixed drip duration as a survival guarantee or infer the cause of a later loss from transfer method alone.
