Primates generously share experience of living in industrialized society
Published 2:48AM, Friday, 10/20/2006 in SCIENCE!Scientists Put Shrimp on a Treadmill
The shrimp treadmill, invented and built by Scholnick, allows researchers to measure the activity of an exercising shrimp for a set period of time at known speed and oxygen levels.
“As far as I know this is the first time that shrimp have been exercised on a treadmill and it was amazing to see how well they performed,” Scholnick told LiveScience. “Healthy shrimp ran and swam at treadmill speeds of up to 20 meters per minute [66 feet per minute] for hours with little indication of fatigue.”
No fatigue now, sure, but wait ’til they buy a house and have kids.
