Atyopsis is a genus of freshwater shrimp from Southeast Asia.It was erected in 1983 by Fenner A. Chace, Jr. for two species formerly treated in the genus Atya. [1] It differs from Atya by various characters, including the form of the telson (which is longest at the corners in Atyopsis, but not in Atya) and the presence of a "massive spur" on the male third pereiopod.
Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 centimeters (36 inches) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 millimeters (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) an hour (equivalent to 1 mm (0.04 in) every 90 seconds). [14] Growth up to 120 centimeters (47.2 in) in 24 hours has been observed in the instance of Japanese giant timber bamboo (Phyllostachys bambusoides ...
Temperatures play a crucial factor as it not only determines the length of larval life, but also the species' growth in differing habitats. The populations within the Gulf of Maine suggest that shrimp hatched in warmer season experience faster rates of growth (0.42 - 1.25 mm/week) than those hatched in a colder season (0.31 - 0.83 mm/week).

Dendrocalamus asper, also known as giant bamboo or dragon bamboo (in China), is a giant, tropical, clumping species of bamboo native to Southeast Asia.In addition to its prolific nature across Asia, the plant's overall attractive appearance (and ease of care) has seen this species introduced widely across South America and Africa (namely Kenya, Malawi and Ghana), as well as Mexico and Florida.

Bamboo is a group of woody perennial plants in the true grass family Poaceae. In the tribe Bambuseae, also known as bamboo, there are 91 genera and over 1,000 species. The size of bamboo varies from small annuals to giant timber bamboo. Bamboo evolved 30 to 40 million years ago, after the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
A fishery population is affected by three dynamic rate functions: Birth rate or recruitment. Recruitment means reaching a certain size or reproductive stage. With fisheries, recruitment usually refers to the age a fish can be caught and counted in nets. Growth rate. This measures the growth of individuals in size and length.
Photoautrophic growth was studied by Nguyen for bamboo shoots cultured with and without sugar and different photoperiods on the agar medium. The shoots grown under photoautrophic conditions weighed more and produced more new leaves. Their survival rate was 20% higher than the shoots grown under photomixotrophic conditions. [3]
Bamboo shoots. Phyllostachys edulis, the mōsō bamboo, [2] or tortoise-shell bamboo, [2] or mao zhu (Chinese: 毛竹; pinyin: máozhú), (Japanese: モウソウチク), (Chinese: 孟宗竹) is a temperate species of giant timber bamboo native to China and Taiwan and naturalised elsewhere, including Japan where it is widely distributed from south of Hokkaido to Kagoshima.
