Why Thai Shrimps Parade on Land

The video explores the phenomenon of shrimp parades along the Lambdam River, where tiny shrimp march out of the water despite the risks. Initially thought to be related to breeding, research shows that juvenile shrimp parade to avoid strong currents. This behavior is compared to other shrimp species worldwide, suggesting it may be a survival tactic. Understanding these parades can aid in conservation efforts, as fewer shrimp are parading each year, and they are getting smaller. Future research could help design structures to assist shrimp in navigating barriers, ensuring their survival and the continuation of these fascinating parades.
