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...Skolnick said, "These studies will give us a better idea of how marine animals can perform in their native habitat when faced with increasing pathogens and immunological challenges."
@AIMDigitalVisions I too am against science. I think that spending money on research and development to keep America at the cutting edge of new technologies is stupid. That money could be spent on pointless wars on the Middle East.
@TareBare23 Can you really not imagine the importance of learning about shrimp stocks? Or about how to properly manage one of America's most important resources, our fisheries?
You remind me of McCain that complained that we wasted too much money on monitoring volcanoes, right before the one in Iceland blew grounding air travel to Europe for a month.
I'm flabbergasted they only spent $500K of Tax Dollars on this,where can we petition to have more spent. And where's the Research Paper & Book on this. I smell a Movie Deal here,at least a Prime Time Sit Com. Maybe a Work-Out Video? We all should feel privileged to have been alive at this time. What wonderful stories we'll have to tell our children and grand-children and generations to come. My only real question is were any real shrimp hurt in the production of this video & is this Kosher?

omg this is terrible! you evil person! you're TORTURING the poor thing. i don't think this is funny at all.i'm surprised PETA hasn't found this yet. they know now.
@dill0174 $500K were spent on that particular study, not only that, but the money came from the american government. Where does the government get their money to do this? Taxpayers.
How else do you propose scientists study the effects of bacteria on shrimp endurance? And this is kind of something it would be nice to know considering shimping is a pretty big industry as we rely upon them for food.
@dmoneysdaughter well it can only be better than running through currents on the ocean floor. I really hate it when people start getting all high and mighty about animal rights, when they really dont know anything and just want a cause to take up :/
@nickilovesyooh I can already tell our friendship will last for years and years. We'll be talked about on just about every new's channel, CNN, NBC, Fox News, you name it! We're front-page newspaper material, no doubt.
