枪虾又名鼓虾、手枪虾,在饮食领域叫做嘎巴虾,常跟虾虎鱼一起生活,颜色呈泥绿色,拥有一对一大一小的虾螯,身长约5厘米,但巨螯的长却达约2.5厘米。鼓虾潜行于热带海洋的浅水区域,当鼓虾猎食时会将牠的巨螯快速合上,喷射出一道时速高达100公里左右的水流,将猎物如小鱼、小蟹震慑、击昏,甚至杀死。这道高速水流会触发空穴现象,成形一个极微小的低压气泡,当水压回复正常,气泡会崩裂并发出劈啪声,鼓虾因此得名。假若一群鼓虾同时闭合牠们的巨螯,所发出的声量足以让潜水艇避过声纳探测器的追踪。
鼓虾也被称为“共生虾”,原因是牠与虾虎鱼的共生关系。小虾的视力不及虾虎鱼,但如果它看见或感觉到虾虎鱼突然游回洞穴,它便能跟着缩回。虾虎鱼和鼓虾总是保持着联系,鼓虾通过其触角触碰虾虎,当有危险时,虾虎鱼会轻拍尾鳍以示警告。
有海中的隔空狙击手之称。
据动物擂台的说法鼓虾能造200分贝的声音

虾光现象
[编辑]荷兰屯特大学研究人员利用一个每秒钟可连续拍摄40,000次的高速照相机,观察某一品种鼓虾(Alpheus heterochaelis)的活动。研究员发现,当鼓虾闭合巨螯产生一道高速的喷射水流,形成空穴现象,产生一个低压气泡,当气泡崩裂时,会产生高达200分贝的音量,足以震碎玻璃及杀死1.8米内的小鱼,气泡在崩裂同时,会产生声致发光(即气泡在水中发生内向爆炸,产生光及高温)[2],科学家称这种鼓虾造成的声致发光为“虾光现象”(shrimpoluminescence),有关“虾光现象”的详细解释、图片、影片及声音档案,可于屯特大学的网页[1](页面存档备份,存于互联网档案馆)取得。
鼓虾产生的气泡因被迅速地压缩,热力无处消散,使得气泡内的温度可激增至华氏8500度(约摄氏4704.4度),并产生持续数亿分之1秒的亮光,因持续时间太短,现时并没有工具可以准确量度出持续时间。这道亮光用肉眼无法看到,事实上只是冲击波造成的副产品,生物学上没有重要性,但这是首次发现动物利用这方式发光。
