  2. Alpheidae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheidae

    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.

    A fearsome predator underwater, mantis shrimp have eight pairs of legs. Three pairs are for walking, but five pairs have claws on the end of them for feeding. ... The mantis shrimp’s claw has ...

  4. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

    Alpheus macrocheles is a marine species. [3] It can be found living underwater in fissures and hollows underneath rocks and boulders. [2] They generally favour larger boulders on the lower shoreline. [2]

  8. Chelae - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelae

    An example of specialization of these asymmetrical chelae can be seen in the Alpheus heterochaelis, the bigclaw snapping shrimp. The enlarged snapping claws of these shrimp are capable of snapping shut with such force to shoot a jet of water and create a loud popping noise, which they use to deter predators and other members of their species. [4]

  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.
