New discoveries about the type of shrimps

Knocked shrimps not only have special names, but also possess many other special abilities, including 'superhuman' abilities below which other shrimp species do not have.

Why bring the name of shrimp knocking?

Shrimps and prawns, shellfish (shrimp snapping or pistol shrimp) are asymmetrical paired shrimp, one extremely large and one extremely small. They used as large a gun as a high-pitched sound to destroy prey as well as to communicate and communicate with other people.

For the most part, the type of shrimps that are knocked down live in caves and are often found in coral reefs, under the seaweed beds and oyster reefs in temperate and temperate coastal areas.

When crowded into large swarms, the sound of shrimps produced can disturb the underwater sound communication devices and be the animals that cause tremendous noise under the sea.

New findings about shrimp knocking

Produce a sound loud enough to break glass bottles. Developing enough sized shrimp only 1-2 inches long (2.5-5cm), but its sound may be equivalent. It was up to 218 decibels, larger than the sound of a machine gun.

The shrimps are more and more massive, larger than half of their bodies and the more normal one. The larger part consists of two parts, the hammer part, moves back into a right angle position and the closed part is a fixed part, forming a perfect shotgun.

The more it can regenerate or reverse each other. If the larger is lost, the smaller it regenerates, the smaller the legs become.

The loud sound of shrimp typing is not the result of hitting each other's nails. In the past, it was believed that the sound produced by shrimps was knocked down by the two, but research showed that it was not. This sound is the action of creating bubble velocities up to 62 miles per hour (100 km / h) and when bursting creates a tremendous sound of coal.

Shot of knocked sound waves can also produce luminescence due to sound (sonoluminescence ) when air bubbles break. When broken, the bubble's temperature reaches more than 5,000 K (4,700 ° C) compared to the Sun's surface temperature of 5,800 K (5,500 ° C)). However, this light has a weaker intensity than the normal acoustic luminescence cases, and only lasts no more than 10 nanoseconds so it cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Knocked shrimp use superhuman abilities to hunt, especially using a 'gun' . After the beard determines the prey is approaching, with the correct location, it uses a gun to make sounds to 'shoot' the prey before pulling into the cave to eat meat.

Knocked shrimp have a symbiotic relationship with gobies to hunt together and survive. The goby-eyed goby quickly detects the danger. The shrimp knocked on the grouper to keep in touch with the goby through the beard and the goby communicated with the prawns with tail movements. When in danger, the two inform each other to retreat safely.
