Triops are Cool

To scientists and researchers, these crustaceans are really cool. It’s one way to study the complex life forms, particularly the Lepidurus species. The life cycle of Triops is really fascinating because of its mechanisms like that of controlling diapauses, reproductive patterns, programmed death, repair mechanisms, and many others. Dried eggs of Triops can live for many years and you can raise the adults in a couple of weeks. You can have Triops as pets with little cost and you can have them for many years.

Triops are still being studied and closely monitored these days. Scientists are really interested and fascinated with these freshwater crustaceans. It’s amazing how Japanese people were able to benefit from Triops. Since the Americans and the Europeans look at Triops differently, further studies can always be conducted to change the farming techniques in these places so that Triops will no longer be called pests.

Just imagine how helpful a little crustacean can be – as a crop helper, a mosquito controller, and even as a pet. There are even websites you can find online that sell the ‘prehistoric monsters’ as pets for kids. In these stores, dried eggs are being sold at a very affordable price. The Triops are not hard to grow and so a lot of kids love them.

Despite the criticisms received by these small animals, scientists and researchers are still trying hard to determine more of their importance in this world. Even little creatures have value in this world and the Japanese people have already proven the significance of Triops in rice farming. So instead of seeing these crustaceans as pests, it would be better to learn the ways of the Japanese people. That way, the Triops can control the weeds and fungus in the plantations.
