So, mantis shrimp come in two varieties there are spearers and smashers.

This is a recording I made of a mantis shrimp that's found off the coast of California.

And mantis shrimp are officially the fastest measured feeding strike of any animal system. So our first surprise.

And mantis shrimp are called mantis shrimp after the praying mantises, which also have a fast feeding appendage. And I started to think, well, maybe it will be interesting, while listening to their sounds, to figure out how these animals generate very fast feeding strikes.

So, actually, I started working on what's called the mantis shrimp a few years ago because they make sound.

And what he showed in mantis shrimp is that they use what's called a catch mechanism, or click mechanism.

Now, the other type of mantis shrimp is the smasher stomatopod, and these guys open up snails for a living.

So this is a mantis shrimp. There are the eyes up here, and there's that raptorial appendage, and there's the heel.

So the next and final question was, well, how much force does a mantis shrimp produce if they're able to break open snails?

And while I was struggling to figure out how and why mantis shrimp, or stomatopods, make sound, I started to think about their appendages.

And then we did a series of calculations, and what we were able to show is that these mantis shrimp have to have a spring.

So this is a potent force in fluid systems, and just to sort of take it one step further, I'm going to show you the mantis shrimp approaching the snail.

Biologist Sheila Patek talks about her work measuring the feeding strike of the mantis shrimp, one of the fastest movements in the animal world, using video cameras recording at 20,000 frames per second.

So, a quick strike like that. And if we slow it down a bit, this is the mantis shrimp the same species recorded at 1,000 frames a second, played back at 15 frames per second.

And if any of you ever have a chance, backstage of the National Museum of Natural History is one of the world's best collections of preserved mantis shrimp. And what this is serious business for me.

So this is the true cost of a shrimp dinner, maybe seven or eight shrimp and 10 pounds of other animals that had to die in the process.

Cheap imports can drive out local producers, as is happening with the U.S. shrimp industry, which is threatened by cheap imported aquaculture shrimp from Asia and Latin America.

Multi season study of mangrove swamps, shrimp ponds and saline areas

Similar excellent results were reached in the reduction of marine turtle by catch in the shrimp fishery through the use of turtle exclusion devices on all Mexican shrimp vessels.

Ah, the first time that I made love to a rock shrimp ...

The varieties landed are tuna, bonito, mackerel, squid, shark, lobster and shrimp.

IFC estimates its losses in shrimp production by comparing the shrimp catches in 1992 to 1995 with the catches for the baseline period which it determines to be 1989 and 1990.

Others are the fish chips consisting of thin tortilla chips with slices of Alaska Pollack, salmon steaks, salmon croquettes, salmon dollars, salmon ravioli, pre fried shrimp, ready to eat shrimp cocktail,
