Giant Shrimp Found in New Zealand

Giant that included in groups of animals marine crustacean found in the trenches as deep as 7 kilometers off the coast of New Zealand.

Creatures that are found are called “supergiant“. These animals included in the order Amphipoda, Crustacea group of animals which had no carapace, and have similar legs chest (thorax).
Amphipoda shrimp have a similar shape. Typically, this animal measuring only 2-3 cm. However, the supergiant is found in the Kermadec Trench, measuring 34 cm, 10 times greater.

This strange animal was found by the method of large metal trap with the help of a camera equipped with a protective glass to cope with pressure problems in the deep ocean.

A total of 9 specimens filmed and 7 were taken. Teams involved are from the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric (Niwa) Research in New Zealand.

The largest specimens taken measuring 28 cm. While the largest specimens are successfully captured by the camera measuring 34 cm.

Researchers revealed amphipoda found in sea trench and the width to “tunnel” in the ocean that it 11 miles.

These animals are small, but very active. Amphipoda are also known to live in an environment with a much higher pressure than the pressure at sea level.

Supergiant name was introduced in 1980 when researcher finds this kind in the waters of Hawaii. However, the specimens found is now much greater.

During recent years, scientists are always surprised by the findings of deep sea life. Now, in addition to finding amphipoda, scientists also found isopods at a depth of 7.7 km.
