    The reversal of claw asymmetry in snapping shrimp is thought to be unique in nature. [12] The snapping shrimp competes with much larger animals such as the sperm whale and beluga whale for the title of loudest animal in the sea. [citation needed] When in colonies, the snapping shrimp can interfere with sonar and underwater communication.

  3. Alpheus heterochaelis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheus_heterochaelis

    The bigclaw snapping shrimp produces a loud, staccato concussive noise with its snapping claw. The sound is produced when the claw snaps shut at great speed creating a high-speed water jet. This creates a small, short-lived cavitation bubble and it is the immediate collapse of this bubble that creates the sound. [3] A spark is formed at the ...

    Alpheus is a genus of snapping shrimp of the family Alpheidae.This genus contains in excess of 330 species, [1] making this the most species-rich genus of shrimp. [2] Like other snapping shrimp, the claws of Alpheus are asymmetrical, with one of the claws enlarged for making a popping noise. [3]

  8. Alpheus armatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheus_armatus

    When a potential prey approaches this shrimp, it opens its large pincer wide and advances on the intruder, snapping the claw shut with a loud click. This sends out a jet of water like a water pistol and "knocks out" its prey; the click is caused by the bursting of the cavitation bubble that forms as the claw closes. The stunned prey is carried ...

  9. Sonoluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence

    Pistol shrimp (also called snapping shrimp) produce a type of cavitation luminescence from a collapsing bubble caused by quickly snapping its claw. The animal snaps a specialized claw shut to create a cavitation bubble that generates acoustic pressures of up to 80 kPa at a distance of 4 cm from the claw.
