+ | The cavitation bubbles created by shrimp in stunning their prey have some surprising properties. | ||
+ | Snapping shrimp produce a loud crackling noise1, that is intense enough to disturb underwater communication. This sound originates from the violent collapse of a large cavitation bubble generated under the tensile forces of a high-velocity water jet formed when the shrimp' | ||
