Shrimp are marine crustaceans

Hypothesis ; I hypothesise that shrimps move more slowly in an area of optimal (temperature, salinity) is ...... because shrimps live...

I hypothesis is that an increase of vibration will decrease the shrimp rate of turning causing the shrimp to move in one direction so it can escape from the perceived danger.The reason for this is because they will be experiencing a large amount of hertz which may cause them to think that there are predators about.

I hypothesis that the increase temperature for the shrimps rate of turning will increase up to their optimal temperature

The reason for this is so they get out of areas of danger/stress which will cause them to die and decrease their ability to pass on heir genetic information

My null-hypothesis is that when the temperature has been increased there will be no change with the shrimps rate of turning

my hypothesis that if there is light and no drakes for the shrimp to hid from there predate then all shrimps would die and be eliminated
