How about noisy creatures known as snapping shrimp?

Warm temperate and tropical coastal waters around the world are teeming with these noisy little creatures.

They snap their claws so fast that they produce a bubble.

When the bubble bursts, it makes a loud popping sound.

It's a sort of persistent background noise, the snapping strip kind of crackling.

Aaron Mooney, a marine biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

The shrimp produced the loud sound to stun prey.

So how would these shrimp be affected by oceans getting warmer in coming years.

To find out, Mooney and his colleague Ashley Lillis

analyzed audio recordings of the critters in their natural environment.

They also performed lab experiments with snapping shrimp collected from the wild and water of varying temperatures.

And they found that when water heats up, the shrimp starts snapping more, and the water's soundscape gets louder.

They shared their findings in February at the Ocean Sciences meeting 2020 in San Diego.

The researchers aren't sure what's causing this change in shrimp behavior, but they have an idea.

We don't precisely know the mechanism of why they're snapping more often.

What we think is that these guys are basically just ectothermic animals so that

means that they're directly responding environmental conditions around them and so

basically as you increase the water temperature increases their metabolic rates or
