碩士 / 國立中山大學 / 海洋生物研究所 / 95 / Snapping shrimp is the well-known source of biological sound in subtidal zone. Sounds were created by imploding a cavitation bubble which is generated under the tensile forces of the claw after a high-velocity water jet has been formed. The sounds of snapping shrimp is not only for attacking and defending, but also for communicating with each others. These sounds thus become the material of studying complex behavior arisen from interaction between individuals. This paper studies the change of fractal dimension of snapping shrimp’s noises in different condition of environment. Sounds of snapping shrimp in Chigu lagoon and Tanshui estuary were recorded respectively. With the help of computer software to edit and calculate, the fractal dimension was taken as indicator for the complexity of communication. The behavior was assumed to be affected by many factors at the same time. Analysis of multiple regression with fractal dimension as dependent variables show that the fractal dimensions increased with night time, water temperature, and the ebb tide, but decrease with light intensity. Diurnal hour is the most significant factor in Chigu area. Analysis of Tanshui’s data showed fractal dimension decrease with water depth.
