The Development of Spring-Actuated Mechanisms in Mantis Shrimp (Stomatopoda) and Snapping Shrimp (Alpheidae)
… of LaMSA morphology in two systems, the mantis shrimp Gonodactylaceus falcatus (Stomatopoda) and the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis (Alpheidae). I also examine the plasticity of LaMSA development in the snapping shrimp Alpheus heterochaelis. The mantis shrimp’s spring-actuated strike is …

Microwave Tempering of Shrimp with Susceptors
… experiments were conducted on frozen blocks of shrimp (FSB) and the results were used to help determine if microwave tempering of FSB is an improved thawing method over the current, traditional method, water immersion. Results of the microwave tempering experiments were also used to help …

A new catoptric system in the eyes of penaeid shrimp
… observations showed the eyes of certain penaeid shrimp to be unusual in possessing three distinct reflecting layers. One of the new layers is situated at the distal-most part of the crystalline lens outside the distal absorbing pigment whereas the other is static beneath the basement membrane. A …

Chemical communication and its ecological consequence in the Lysmata shrimp
… pheromones in the mating processes of Lysmata shrimp (a group of protandric simultaneous hermaphrodites), and we have partially identified the soluble and contact pheromones. Additionally, evolution of the sex pheromone system of Lysmata shrimp, and role of the sex pheromones in reproductive …

Fairy shrimp (Anostraca) in the vernal pools of Eastern Washington
… to rare and endemic species. Anostraca, or fairy shrimp, lay eggs that form dormant drought- and desiccation-tolerant egg banks in the substrate of dry pools and hatch with rehydration. The shrimps act as key indicators of pool quality, but little is known about these organisms, and the pools in …

The Visual Ecology of the Cleaner Shrimp-Client Fish Mutualism
<p>Cleaner shrimp are small, brightly-colored tropical crustaceans that attract reef fish clients to set locations on a reef called cleaning stations and then "clean" them by removing ectoparasites from their scales, gills, and mouths. Because clients benefit from the removal of potentially harmful …

Tale of Two Hosts: Vibrio parahaemolyticus Toxicity Against Human and Shrimp
… necrosis disease (AHPND) is a newly emerging shrimp disease that has generated severe damage to the global shrimp industry. AHPND is caused by toxic strains of Vibrio paraehaemolyticus that have acquired a "selfish plasmid" encoding the deadly binary toxins PirAvp/PirBvp. To better understand …

Effects of zinc and mercury on the white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus
… mercury (singly and in combination) on the white shrimp, Penaeus setiferus. The importance of modifying variables (such as temperature, weight, molting, sex, and season) were assessed in bioassay techniques which utilized measurements of locomotor activity, mortality, and oxygen consumption. …

Improving Disease Resistance for Shrimp Through Application of Probiotics in Feed
Diseases affecting shrimp contribute to billions of dollars of economic loss yearly to the aquaculture industry. Recently, one of the primary causative agents of disease has been Vibrio parahaemolyticus; in 2009, a new strain causing Early Mortality Syndrome (EMS) or acute hepatopancreatic necrosis …

Burrowing and feeding ecology of the ghost shrimp Biffarius arenosus (Decapoda: Callianassidae)
The thalassinidean ghost shrimp, Biffarius arenosus(Decapoda: Callianassidae), is a dominant component of coastal soft sediment communities in temperate south-eastern Australia. This thesis investigated the burrowing and feeding ecology of a population of shrimps inhabiting an intertidal sandflat …

Ventilation Behavior of the Mantis Shrimp, HEMISQUILLA ENSIGERA CALIFORNIENSIS IN HYPOXIC BURROWS
<p>The burrow-dwelling mantis shrimp, <em>Hemisquilla ensigera californiensis</em>, is an environmentally challenged marine species due to the fact it inhabits burrows located beneath the surface of the sediment where oxygen pressure is low and easily depleted. This experiment revealed that burrow …
