There is growing concern that the noise from human activities in water may impact the detection and production of sound by aquatic animals. Snapping shrimp are sound producing crustaceans and their sound has biological and ecological importance. This paper investigated the effects of pulsed stimuli upon the acoustic behavior of these animals. Changes in snap frequency and duration were assessed before, during and after playbacks and at different levels. Acoustic analysis showed that the duration of the snaps increased significantly during playbacks, whereas the snap peak frequency significantly decreased compared to before and after exposure. Data also showed that when exposed to a sound pressure level equal and above to 130 re 1 μPa (computed particle motion 2.06 × 10 m/s), shrimp responded acoustically. The results suggested that the pulsed acoustic stimuli triggered a behavioral response that included more snapping from bigger animals and movements away from the source.

Non-invasive bioimaging techniques like X-ray micro-computed tomography (μCT), combined with contrast-enhancing techniques, allow the 3D visualization of the central nervous system , without the destruction of the sample. However, quantitative comparisons of the most common fixation and contrast-enhancing protocols are rare, especially in marine invertebrates. Using the snapping shrimp () as a model, we test three common fixation and staining agents combinations to prepare specimens prior to μCT scanning.
