Ortmannia henshawi Rathbun, 1901 Atyoida bisulcata, also called ʻŌpae kalaʻole or ʻŌpae kuahiwi in Hawaiian, is a species of freshwater shrimp endemic to Hawaiʻi in the family Atyidae.
[8] They don't possess any type of claws but have a unique set of pincers, containing bristle-like hairs that are primarily used to catch and filter small food particles from water columns.
[9] ‘Ōpae kala‘ole can be commonly found on the islands of Kaua‘i, O‘ahu, Moloka‘i, Maui, and Hawai‘i, where they occupy streams of high water quality.
[10] They often inhabit the higher parts of streams, where the water is typically flowing the quickest.
[8] As of today, the consumption of the shrimp continues and is still considered a prized source of food.
