Bends is cause by dissolved nitrogen literally boiling out of your blood when you move from high to low pressure too fast. Water breathers such as these don’t have dissolved nitrogen in their blood, so they don’t get the bends.

Baked Stuffed Giant Isopods

Ingredients

· 1 (1 to 1 1/4 pound) Giant Isopods
· Seafood Stuffing
· 1 ounce fresh crabmeat
· 1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
· Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
· Place a little water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
· Cut open the Giant Isopods by inserting your knife just underneath the head and the cutting down, splitting the belly (body and tail). Remove the "inards" (heart, guts, etc., but not meat). Steam the Giant Isopods for 7 to 10 minutes and then remove from the pot.
· Stuff the Seafood Stuffing in the Giant Isopods's opening and top with the crabmeat.
· Place the stuffed Giant Isopods, belly-side-up in a roasting pan. Add the lemon juice and a little water to the bottom of the pan to keep the Giant Isopods moist while cooking. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or just until the claws begin to split. Do not allow the Giant Isopods to dry out.

In the pitch black and cold they survive by feasting on dead and decaying fish and other marine animals.

Just like shrimp and crabs.
