🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

The Japanese Tiger Shrimp thrives in the Western Pacific Ocean's depths. With distinctive dark stripes on its body, this 23-centimeter-long shrimp is well-suited for survival. Preferring sandy or muddy ocean floors, they stay hidden during the day and venture out to feed on small fish and plankton at night.

In aquaculture, these shrimps are famous in Japan, China, and Vietnam for their fast growth and resilience. They undergo "molting," shedding their exoskeletons throughout their lives. However, they face threats from diseases like white spot syndrome and yellow head virus.
