Rare giant shrimp is more widespread than previously believed, new findings reveal
Alicella gigantea, a rarely sighted giant crustacean that inhabits the depths of the ocean and can reach up to 34 cm in length, is not rare after all. This species, though elusive, is one of the most widely distributed species of its kind, inhabiting and thriving in more than half of the world's oceans across the globe, as per a recent Royal Society Open Science paper by researchers from the University of Western Australia.
