Immature shrimp around here (Florida) grow in fresh/brackish water, and
then move to the ocean when they mature (often during a good rain storm).

Not sure on their breeding behavior. That is, do mature shrimp return to
rivers to spawn? No idea.

I'm thinking that these are the same species of Ghost Shrimp taken at
different stages of life, or maybe the small ones have been acclimated
to salt water.

So it looks like some are freshwater, some are marine and some are
brackish. The genus, from a bit of googling, is Palaemon - haven't
managed to indentify a tropical marine species ye
