MOLT & MOSS NEOCARIDINA DECISION CARD
Version: 1.0
Reviewed: 2026-08-12
Topic: Receive and transfer shipped shrimp

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