Shrimp can be very intelligent animals and have very amazing things such as being clear, this may seem weird but yes, they are clear. Shrimp live in the ocean and come in contact with many different plants animals. The most common plant that the shrimp comes in contact the most with and use for protection is seaweed, coral, and algae. Shrimp use the for protection to hide from the other animals they depend on shrimp for their diet, most of these animals are sharks, whales and sometimes crabs are included. The change of having no eyes helps the shrimp hide from these and keeps the population at a good rate and this has also helped overfishing with not having contact with other animals and causing lots of movement to the other animals and fisherman. …show more content…
Shrimp are considered to be omnivores and they contain a good variety of nutrients such as Vietnam B12 and Vietnam E.
they find their food by their surroundings and sifting the sand of filtering the water. the bulk of their diet is composed algae and plankton matter. The big evolutionary change helped the shrimp defend itself, time before the change there wasn’t this many shrimp in the ocean most people eat shrimp and can cause a decrease in shrimp, progress has been showed since this great evolutionary change, there are some effects on the species such as not being able to see where it’s going and can sometimes get in to traps and trash in the …show more content…
ocean. There are also benefits of this like increase in shrimp population and protection, this allows shrimp to hear and feel with their nose. The motion of the water allows them to travel but most of the time they stay to the bottom close to the corals and plants, they use their feet and water to move around the ocean floor. Future offspring can have many good benefits of this like being able to survive as young and them being as little as babies it will help them be safe. shrimp are very small and don’t get very big. There are different types of shrimp and the black and white striped shrimp can grow to be 13 inches long and weigh a quarter- pound. White, brown, and pink shrimp grow to mostly be eight inches. Most shrimp tend to stay very small but can get to be a good size. The shrimp comes in many different sizes. Animals in the ocean come in contact a lot with the shrimp and it not being able to see makes it easier to run into things. the grass is where the shrimp mostly stay and buried under the sand. This helps the hide easier from the other animals. Shrimp have many unique things about them some shrimp are kept as pets and most people eat shrimp for the great deal of nutrients they have. Cleaning shrimp wave there little white tail/antennae and do dances to attract the other shrimp. The shrimp contain legs, gills and antennae’s. The shrimp use there gills to breathe and the respiratory organ is called brachia and is located on the carapace which is the head of the shrimp.
The body of the shrimp is two parts the thorax which is the body and the head , the body pieces are connected by the cephalorax and a narrow abdomen. The mouth if the shrimp works with the gills so they can be used. Shrimp have a hard shell that keeps everything together and protects them, its legs, eyes, and rostrum grow out of the hard shell. The use their nose or a sharp peak which there there basically the sing thing to protect their self from all the bigger and other animals it come in contact with and it sticks them with and it has a length that the shrimp lets out to be able to reach where the shrimp wants to get the other animals. Shrimp have some similarities to fish like when they travel, breed, and eat its usually done in schools (schools area group of the species). A (shrimp) single female is capable of producing a large number of offspring, one shrimp can lay up to one million eggs in a single session, take two weeks to hatch it takes two weeks to
hatch.

When do natural products become a delicacy? They become a delicacy when they become harder to find in their natural setting. This is what happened to the lobster and how the demands of the consumers changed. During Colonial times, the status of lobster was much different than today. It was once considered a poor man’s food. Now, it is considered a delicacy and found in many fancy dishes and at most higher priced restaurants. Today, lobster prices are high. If you want to eat a good lobster, you have to pay a decent price for it. The change in status of lobster occurred when the supply of lobster started to become depleted. As the sources of lobster were being depleted the demand increased in wealthier markets. This occurred because wealthier people could afford the higher prices created by a shrinking supply. The supply of the lobster population is what influenced the changing demands of the consumers.
"Consider the Lobster" an issue of Gourmet magazine, this reviews the 2003 Maine Lobster Festival. The essay is concerned with the ethics of boiling a creature alive in order to enhance the consumer's pleasure. The author David Foster Wallace of "Consider the Lobster” was an award-winning American novelist. Wallace wrote "Consider the Lobster” but not for the intended audience of gourmet readers .The purpose of the article to informal reader of the good thing Maine Lobster Festival had to offer. However, he turn it into question moral aspects of boiling lobsters.
They also look after the quality of coastal waters by watering down, sifting, and settling deposits, left-over nutrients and contaminants. They are highly productive ecosystems and provide habitats and act as nurseries for all manner of life.
The understanding of Saballaria cementarium's diet has not been thoroughly examined in much detail. Qian and Chia (1990) examined the role of detritus, form of eelgrass, as a food source for developing larvae of the organism. It is not known whether they are food limited. The experiment was conducted to reveal some facts about the feeding habits of the larvae in determining the development and growth of it. The invertebrate larvae's primary food source comes from the phytoplankton that is found in abundance at the bottom of the sea floor. The larvae fed with detritus were compared with those fed on equal concentrations of phytoplankton. Other tests were conducted to compare the degrees of survivorship among the larvae using varying concentrations of phytoplankton. Higher concentrations of phytoplankton, consumed by the larvae, yielded
The experiment measured the survival rate, the growth rate, and the size of the brine shrimp at the time harvested in various environments. To obtain these measurements, three environments were created: sea water, brackish water, and freshwater. For this experiment the scientists used 5 liter plastic buckets. Every two days, half of the water from each bucket was discarded and new water, of each respective salinity, was added into each bucket...
Defense: Due to the lack of any inherent defense mechanisms, the species relies on its camouflage as its sole mechanism for defense. Naturally, high amounts of vegetation present in an area provide an aid to the protection of the freshwater shrimp from its predators and allow a greater chance of the survival of the species.
Though food is everlasting in both the coral reef and deep sea, space is very limited. Organisms in both habitats have to compete for space and survival, having defense mechanisms to keep other species from killing out their kind. Some fishes in the coral reef hide in cracks and crevices along the rocks and corals to hide from their predators. Other fishes camouflage within the brightly colored corals to hide from predators, or even humans looking into their tank. The deep sea holds many small fish, but with large mouths. The large mouths and pointy teeth help the miniscule fish eat their prey, whi...
When someone says the word octopus, an image of an eight legged invertebrate comes to mind. The body structure of a mature octopus is very interesting. Octopuses are extremely intelligent. They have excellent memory can use tools, and are great problem solvers. Only birds and mammals are known to be smarter. Each one of their tentacles, which are used for prying open clam shells, has two rows of suckers that can give them a pretty good grip. An octopus also tastes with its tentacles. An octopus’s third right arm, also called hectocotyli, is also its penis which a male octopus will use to mate at one or two years of age. The only part of an octopus that cannot move or squeeze through small spaces is its beak where it consumes food. This is used for biting and also breaking things apart. Did you know that octopi have three hearts? This is because these sea creatures have extra legs and three hearts are necessary for better bl...
In the passage, “After SeaWorld, a ‘Blackfish effects’ on circuses and zoos?,” Kelly Wallace explains and gives quotes about the ongoing debate of how aquariums, circuses, and zoos should be handled. Described as the “Blackfish effect” by Lange, many countries including Spain, Mexico, and the United States have already banned such things as bullfighting, animal circuses, and the tool called bullhook. The documentary, “Blackfish effect,” based on the “death of experienced SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau after she was pulled underwater by a 12,000-pound orca,” completely wiped out the public's opinion about how it was fair to kill and exploit animals for entertainment. SeaWorld had became “financially prudent” because their reputation was flushed down the drain after the
The Syncaris Pacifica also importance because they ate some of the microscopic that might be harmful to the ecosystems. They like to collect all the small debris in the stream. There are many caused to their decline. The first caused is the introduced fish. When stream got introduced by fish this have cause the shrimps to become food. The fish eat faster then a shrimp can reproduce. The shrimp just hatch to a full adult and reproduce usually take around seven to nine month. But during time it can be hard because in the stream is a survival of the fit. The strong and smart get to live the weak and old become fish
Currently, live whale performances have become a main attraction for tourists. When visitors are at SeaWorld, they only see what is right in front of their eyes and do not care or want to know about the complications the whales go through just to make people smile. The documentary “Blackfish” exposes the truth about killer whales, their habits, and why they behave in the manner that they do when in captivity. The inhumane treatment of whales in captivity causes negative effects on the animals which, in turn, affects the humans who care for them.
They truly do eat crab like it says in their name. They eat crab, fish, reptiles, rodents, insects, eggs, and fruit (Animalia). They walk in groups, but hunt by themselves. They do different hunting skills for the type of prey. They eat different foods in different seasons which means they eat more crab in the wetlands and more insects in drylands (Soft Schools).
Parrotfishes are the common name for members of the large fish family Scaridae, which live in coral reef ecosystems throughout the Caribbean as well as the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. They vary in color and pattern between males, females and juveniles, with each going through a variety of color changes as they mature (Polychromatism). (Jamaica Environment Trust, 2013) “There are about eighty identified species, ranging in size from less than one to four feet in length.” (National Geographic Society, 2013). Powerful jaws of fused teeth “beaks”, and bright colors gives Parrotfish their common family name. This paper seeks to describe the diversity, geographic range, habitat, physical description, development, reproduction, lifespan, behavior, food habits, predation and threats to Parrotfish. Additionally, this paper will examine the importance of this species to the coral reef ecosystems in the Caribbean.
Crustacea is a large subphylum of Arthropoda, consisting of almost 52 000 described species, including animals like crabs, lobsters, shrimp and barnacles. The majority of these are aquatic, living in marine or fresh water environments, though some have adapted to living on land like some crabs and woodlice. Most crustaceans are relatively small, though there are some exceptions. All of them have a hard, strong exoskeleton, divided into two parts, which has to be shed in order to allow the animal itself to grow. They have a large circulation system, where blood is pumped around the body by the heart. Only some crustaceans have sexes separate, and those that are usually mate seasonally and lay eggs. The study of Crustacea is called carcinology.
