The two most prominent genera are Alpheus and Synalpheus, with species numbering well over 330 and 160, respe... The snapping shrimp competes with much larger animals, like the [sperm whale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_whale) and [beluga whale](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beluga_whale), for the title of ‘loudest animal in the sea’. The shrimp snaps a specialized claw shut to create a [cavitation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation) wave that generates [acoustic pressures](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_pressure#Examples_of_sound_pressure_and_sound_pressure_levels) of up to 80 [kPa](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KPa) at a distance of 4 [cm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cm) from the claw. The pressure wave is strong enough to kill small fish [[7]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp#_note-5). It corresponds to a [zero to peak](http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Zero_to_peak&action=edit) [pressure level](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_level) of 218 [decibels](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decibels) relative to one [micropascal](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropascal) (dB re 1 μPa), equivalent to a zero to peak [source level](http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Source_level&action=edit) of 190 dB re 1 μPa at the standard reference distance of 1 m. Au and Banks measured [peak to peak](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_to_peak) source levels between 185 and 190 dB re 1 μPa at 1 m, depending on the size of the claw.[[8]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp#_note-6) Similar values are reported by Ferguson and Cleary. [[9]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp#_note-7). The duration of the click is less than 1 [millisecond](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond). **The snap can also produce** [**sonoluminescence**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence) **from a collapsing** [**bubble**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_bubble) **, also known as a cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches the surface temperature of the** [**Sun**](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun) [[10]](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol_shrimp#_note-8). The light is of lower intensity than the light produced by typical [sonoluminescence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonoluminescence) and is not visible to the naked eye. It is most likely a by-product of the shock wave with no biological significance. However, it is the first known instance of an animal producing light by this effect. ---
