This occurrence is not good news for the local species at all as killer shrimp can sap off the same food source as the local aquatic animals. However, this behavior is expected from most of these invasive species such as the killer shrimp. I recall many example of invasive species that drastically affect the food web of various places such as the Cane Toad being introduced to Australia, Asian Carp to North America and Europe and Zebra Mussels to Europe and Russia. Hopefully these matters can be dealt with soon before the extinction of native species.
