Many Heterocarpus shrimp are known for using bioluminescence as a defense, spitting it on predators. [3] Studies about their feeding habits, [4] and the fact that they may be found in the stomach contents of some pelagic sharks [5] and other fishes [6] is interpreted as they have benthic habits, but they do migrations to the water column at night.
Alvinocarididae is a family of shrimp, originally described by M. L. Christoffersen in 1986 from samples collected by DSV Alvin, from which they derive their name. Shrimp of the family Alvinocarididae generally inhabit deep sea hydrothermal vent regions, and hydrocarbon cold seep environments. Carotenoid pigment has been found in their bodies ...
Rimicaris exoculata, commonly known as the 'blind shrimp', is a species of shrimp. It thrives on active hydrothermal edifices at deep-sea vents of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. [1] This species belongs to the Alvinocarididae family of shrimp, named after DSV Alvin, the vessel that collected the original samples described by M. L. Christoffersen in 1986.
