A research has been carried out by a group of researchers from Aberystwyth University. As per the study, it has been unveiled that the spotted sea louse has two body clocks.

Study researchers were of the view that they have found the speckled sea louse in a beach near north Wales. To talk about the specie then it grows up to 5mm in length. The louse is very smart when it comes to its protection, as it goes deep into the sand when low tides come.

But when the tides have come in then it returns to surface. Senior researcher of the study Dr. David Wilcockson was of the view that the two body clocks that sea louse has are one for time and other is for tides.

Study researchers said that knowing about the two body clocks in sea louse was quite an exciting thing. "The discovery of the circadian clock mechanisms in various terrestrial species from fungi to humans was a major breakthrough for biology", affirmed Wilcockson.

There are very peculiar traits of sea louse. One such feature is that it turns dark during the day in order to protect itself from harmful UV rays. But lightens the colour during night and also becomes a fast swimmer.
