Prawn question.

[chevy guy]

Anybody know what the tiny prawn looking items are that get into the bait jars. They are just everywhere by the hundreds. This is in Alberni Inlet. Was thinking they are indeed baby shrimp or prawns. Anybody??

Send a picture.
I suspect sea lice also.
We see lice in some deeper prawn sets eg 350 feet +

If they are about 1/4 inch long, are they not baby prawns n shrimp.
