Recently caught specimens from Eleuthera and Great Exuma Islands, however, were captured at depths of more than 10 meters, indicating a tolerance to more saline waters. This is also the case in the two new localities on central Long Island.</paragraph>

In Grotto, central Long Island (fig. 10), which is a partially flooded cave, salinity was measured at 33.8 ppt. In addition to the main collapsed entrance, several smaller, skylight entrances also help to illuminate the 20 m long by 8 m wide and 2.5 m deep pool. Most of the 8-10 fish in the pool were observed in a dark alcove at the rear of the cave. Large numbers(many hundreds to thousands) of the shrimp
