The dynamic behavior of small shrimp-like creature is analyzed by a digital high speed video camera system. Test small aquatic creature is opossum shrimp, Archaeomysis kokuboi Ii. Some movement models of opossum shrimps are observed. The details of the motion of swimming legs and flow fields are revealed experimentally. Flow visualization around tethered opossum shrimp is also performed by slow shutter photographic technique.
