About the Author
Hello
there! Thank you for visiting my webpage and I hope you have enjoyed
learning about Squilla mantis as much as I did! My name is Alan Chan
and I’m currently a student at University of Wisconsin- La-Crosse. I am a
junior and my field of study is Biomedical. I hope in the future that I
would get into a physical therapy graduate school after graduating from
UW-La-Crosse. When I do have free time I like to hang out with
friends and relax. I also enjoy weightlifting, nature walks, and playing
sports.
This research was done for one my classes at UW-La-Crosse, Organismal
Biology 203. I picked the specie Squilla mantis because over my
lifetime I have visited China about 5-6 times; my most recent visit was
this year during my Christmas break of December 2011. Each time I visit,
my family members overseas would make a bunch of delicious seafood.
The
most interesting one that I haven’t seen in America was the “shrimp”
like creature, which I later found out was Squilla mantis.
This was perfect for this research project because one requirement for
choosing our topic was that it needs to be edible. And once again, I
hope you all have enjoyed and gained knowledge from this webpage!
Godspeed!
