This deep water shrimp, Meningodora mollis, was observed in berry or holding its eggs beneath its tail. This is a form of parental care wherein the parent keeps its eggs with it until they hatch, offering protection from smaller predators while with the parent. This individual was collected in the Gulf of Mexico between 200m depth and the surface, 2018. Image courtesy of the DEEPEND project. | |
