Climate change is making one of the ocean's loudest animals even louder: Study

A new study has revealed that a small aquatic animal that also happens to be ocean's loudest animal will continue to get louder thanks to continuous, extreme changes in global climate. study showed that animal continues to become louder with rising ocean temperatures.  report ded that results of experiment show that climate change could have a major impact on soundscape of ocean.

Scientists Warn Climate Change Could Wipe Out All Coral Reefs By 2100

Shrimps who sound louder than a bullet

Even though muddy green snapping shrimps, also kwn as pistol shrimp, are about 2 inches in length, effects y are likely to have inside ocean and eventually outside water, are gruesome. One of loudest animals on Earth, a snap of its claw creates a bubble which explodes. sound is louder than a gunshot and creates shock waves underwater which, also helps it catch its prey.

Warmer water temperature, louder sound

A research by Woods Hole Oceagraphic Institution in San Diego, California, has identified a positive relationship between a warmer ocean temperature and a louder intensity in snapping sound of shrimp. Aran Mooney, a marine biologist at Wood Hole Oceagraphic Institution and his colleague Ashlee Lillis have happened upon this relevation after experiment y carried out with shrimp in ir lab and by observing shrimps in ocean at different temperatures. experiment only proved snapping sound created by shrimps gets louder when temperature turns warmer.

consequences snapping shrimp would have on life underwater and outside are evident, following escalating rise in change in climatic patterns. An increase in ise would undoubtedly have an verse effect on ecosystem besides or aquatic animals that depend on sounds to catch ir prey or communicate, like whales. Human activities above water, like fihsing, would also get affected following massive increase in sound patterns inside sea.
