It is a “supergiant” Bathynomus, and is being described as the “cockroach of the sea”.
It is the first ‘supergiant’ isopod species discovered by the researchers in the eastern Indian Ocean (Bantan, off the southern coast of West Java in Indonesia).
It measures around 50 centimetres (1.6 feet) in length, which is big for isopods, which normally do not grow beyond 33 cm (just over a foot).
Isopods that reach 50 cm are referred to as supergiants.
The giant isopods are distantly related to crabs, lobsters, and shrimps (which belong to the order of decapods), and are found in the cold depths of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans.
The only member of the isopod species that exceeds the raksasa in size is the Bathynomus giganteus, which is commonly found in the deep waters of the western Atlantic Ocean
Study planner is an invaluable tool for students, enabling them to assess
their strengths and weaknesses through tests. It calculates the optimal daily study time
required to cover the syllabus. This personalized approach enhances productivity and fosters
effective time management, ultimately boosting academic performance.
PERSONALISED TEST
A personalized test allows students to select their preferred topic and
subtopic from the curriculum. It generates a tailored examination by randomly selecting
questions related to their choices. This approach promotes engagement, reinforces specific
learning objectives, and fosters a deeper understanding of the material through active
participation in the assessment process.
PREDECTIVE ANALYTICS
The analytics system tracks the time spent and records correct answers for
all questions attempted. It compiles this data into analyses, offering students valuable
insights into their preparation, identifying strengths and weaknesses, and helping them
optimize their study strategies for improved performance.
