Abstract
- The African shrimp ( Atya gabonensis ) uses elongated setae to filter feed, adapting to high flow velocities. The setae's stability stems from carefully designed geometric and structural parameters, notably a specialized wall and distribution principle. This study highlights the robust filtration mechanism in the shrimp and potential for developing stable structures in underwater environments.<br />Competing Interests: The authors declare no competing interests.<br /> (© 2023 The Authors.)
