	Giant isopod - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A giant isopod may be one of approximately nine species of large isopods (crustaceans related to the shrimps and crabs) in the genus Bathynomus.
		The generitype Bathynomus giganteus is the largest known species of isopod and is the one most often referred to by the common name "giant isopod".
		giganteus from the Gulf of Mexico; this was an exciting discovery for both scientists and the public, as at the time the idea of a lifeless or "azoic" deep ocean had only recently been refuted by the work of Sir Charles Wyville Thomson and others.

		The cirolanid isopods, Bathynomus giganteus and Cirolana harfordi, belong to the same family, but reside in very different habitats, the deep sea and the lower intertidal.
		giganteus is purportedly an evolutionarily ancient isopod and thus may be a predecessor to C.
		It has been suggested that structures of the closely related proteins, hemocyanin and cryptocyanin, could be used to distinguish phylogenetic relationships in the Ecdysozoa.

		The marine Bathynomus giganteus with its total length of up to 40 cm is undoubtedly the record-holder among the isopods.
		The giant and the dwarf: Bathynomus giganteus, the giant isopod besides the familiar Wood Lice.
		This gigantic animal was found for the first time in 1878 off the coast of Dry Tortugas in the Gulf of Mexico when a scientific expedition detected a single specimen in its fishing nets.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Gulf of Mexico Deep Sea Biology
		Instead of diving on Bush Hill, we returned to a muddy plain near the Brine Pool to retrieve the large trap that we had baited and released five days earlier.
		We were hoping to collect large crabs, the giant isopod Bathynomus giganteus, and small amphipods that, hopefully, would be attracted to the bait.
		Among them were half a dozen females that possessed their oostegites (brooding legs that develop in the molt preceding reproduction).

		Latent phenoloxidase activity and N-terminal amino acid sequence of hemocyanin from Bathynomus giganteus, a primitive crustacean.
		N-terminal amino acid sequences for the two hemocyanin subunits from the deep-sea crustacean Bathynomus giganteus have been determined by Edman degradation, providing the first sequence information for a hemocyanin from an isopod.
		In addition, purified hemocyanin from B. giganteus exhibited phenoloxidase activity in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate.

	NOAA Ocean Explorer: Gulf of Mexico Expedition
		From dive observations we know that large crabs (Rochina), fish called hake and giant isopods (Bathynomus) are the most common large predators and scavengers in this area.
		Most of these big animals are too fast for the submersible to catch, but the trap caught many specimens of each.
		However Bathynomus giganteus, the giant isopod, is unlike anything most people have ever imagined.

		Of lately discovered species the most striking is one of the deep-sea Cirolanidae, Bathynomus giganteus, A. Edwards (1879), which is unique in having supplementary ramified branchiae developed at the bases of the pleopods.
		Its eyes are said to contain nearly 4000 facets., The animal attains what in this order is the monstrous size of 9 in.

		According to marine biologist Frank Greco, who cares for the creatures, the giant isopod (Bathynomus giganteus) hails from the eternal darkness at the bottom of the sea, living peacefully at depths of more than 3,000 meters (almost 2 miles).
		There they must conserve energy to endure the intense cold and pressure—a habit that apparently doesn't change at sea level.

		Like I mentioned before, the isopods are an extremely diverse group of crustaceans, having adapted to a mind-boggling variety of habitats and ecological niches.
		We depart from the usual discussion of parasites, to bring to you a species that is sure to give you the shivers - the giant isopod Bathynomus giganteus.
		Unlike insects, which are constrained by the weight of their exoskeletons, marine crustaceans are able to grow to much larger sizes, due to the support provided by the water.
