💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🦐🚀 Scientists at the #Okayama University of #Science used a specialized high-speed spinning #machine to simulate weightlessness for kuruma shrimp and sea monkeys.

The team observed that while the larger #shrimp needed mesh netting to steady themselves, the smaller brine shrimp thrived and grew normally over several days. The #research provides a look at how #future #astronauts might raise #aquaculture setups on the #Moon.

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🏛️🟢 When the #LincolnMemorial #ReflectingPool turned green with #algae after a $15 million renovation, officials reached for #chemicals and expensive #technology.

But a #freshwater ecologist explains that #nature offers cheaper, longer lasting solutions. Tiny #crustaceans called #Daphnia and rooted aquatic #plants can control algae by consuming it and absorbing nutrients before blooms form.

#Fouling means that #sessileanimals as #crustaceans or #mussels attach themselves to non-living #underwatersurfaces as #shiphulls. According to Capt. Raghu Sharma (2026), this particularly affects ships beyond the #StraitofHormuz due to #warmwaters and #highsalinity. It increases #hydrodynamicdrag leading to higher #fuelconsumption (M. Tadros et al. 2022).

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🦐🦘 Roly polies are terrestrial #crustaceans that evolved from marine-dwelling ancestors.

They share a specific trait with #kangaroos because both carry their young in a brood pouch. Female pill bugs carry their #eggs and newly-hatched young in a special pouch called a marsupium.
