Where are wild bee shrimps found naturally in? The species database says kowloon but I suspect that is the place that inport and exports them or farm them? Isn't kowloon like one of the worlds most polluted and urbanised overcrowded places do they have clean freshwater waterbodies that contains such sensitive shrimps?

Various species of variation of bee/bumble bee shrimps can be found in Southern part of China.

However, wild diamond shrimps can be found only in the "territory" of Hong Kong, Kowloon near to "boundary" with China, from the mouth of a collector. My shrimp/fish exporter friend from Southern China does not have diamond shrimp in his export list which is not suprising as Diamond Shrimp is not found there.

I am sure you can't find diamond shrimps in the drainage of Kowloon city, if you are referring to human populated part of Kowloon.

Isn't kowloon city part of HK's urban area? Is there pockets of natural reserves there or are the shrimps in the parks? Sorry I've never been there I'm just trying to figure out what crs natural biotope looks like..


This page says it is only 10 km²?

Ok, I got this sorted out:

Wild diamond shrimps can be found only in the "territory" of Hong Kong, New Territory near to "boundary" with China.
