You know I am now speculating that might have been the cause....nothing for the shrimp to attach its legs. They put the shrimp in a pretty small amount of water also (than my experience with getting other aquatic life). There was no insulation, like a styrofoam container. Nothing else was done, but they double-bagged.
I am not sure the temperature. It was picked up in Miami, then a flight to Brazil. It was alive 1 hour before decent. I would say from the time of bagging to the the time of death was only about 12 hours. The bag definitely lost pressure/oxygen probably do the cabin pressure.
Do you think the store will give me a store credit (since I think they blew it on their end)??
I am just interested in knowing what I could have done/ or the store could have done better. I am really bumped about the whole experience since I was really more about TSA Customs and Brazilian Customs confiscating it -- but both were a breeze.
