Have you ever seen such shrimp?
20 1 1 year, British scientists discovered a new kind of deep-sea shrimp in a submarine crack with a depth of about 5000 meters. This kind of shrimp lives on rocks around submarine volcanic springs, and the number per square meter is as high as 2000.
This legendary shrimp is called super heat-resistant shrimp. As the name implies, super heat-resistant shrimp can live at 450℃, not only will it not be cooked, but also live alive.
This kind of shrimp also has a name called white blind shrimp. Its appearance is white, but its eyesight is poor.
The reason why it is blind shrimp is, of course, the degeneration of eyes, which is the nature of almost all deep-sea creatures. In the deep sea, there is no sunlight refracted in, and the eyes are white and long. In the dark sea, you can't see your fingers, and bright eyes don't work. Therefore, a luminous device has evolved on the back of the white blind shrimp, which can be used to judge the direction and distance of the crater and avoid getting too close and scalding yourself.
Although the hot springs ejected by the volcano can reach 450, it does not mean that white blind shrimp live in such a high water temperature.
In fact, when the hot spring comes out of the crater, it exchanges heat with the surrounding seawater, cooling itself and warming the seawater. Living in such an environment, white blind shrimp will be a little more heat-resistant than ordinary shrimp, but even living in an environment of tens of degrees, it will never bear too high a temperature. Most white blind shrimps are made in protein, and protein will be denatured when it encounters high temperature.
If you pour the white blind shrimp into boiling water, it will obviously become a "red blind shrimp".
But this does not mean that white blind shrimp can be safely eaten. It lives near the crater and feeds on bacteria, microorganisms and minerals in hot springs. Its body contains a lot of toxins.
Then, it grows at a depth of 5000 meters, and the fishing cost is a bit high.
Let's pretend that we haven't heard of this kind of shrimp.
