When its soft body grows too big for the outer shell, the brine shrimp molts (sheds the shell). Brine shrimp have two compound eyes on stalks and a third small eye in the middle of their heads.
• Brine shrimp investigations for course work assessment • Background ecological information for teachers • Laboratory technician's guide. The brine shrimp ecosystem is effectively a salt lake community in an aquarium on the sunny side of the lab. In winter the organisms in it may need extra heat or light, but, once built up, the community is
Brine shrimp (Artemia salina) are found in high-salt bodies of water, such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah, the Caspian Sea, inland salt swamps, as well as in coastal waters near San Fransisco. They are readily available in aquarium stores, where they are sold as fish food.
Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans also known as brine shrimp, Aqua Dragons or sea monkeys. It is the only genus in the family Artemiidae.
1. Obtain your shrimp or crawfish specimens (fresh or preserved). 2. Divide your class into small groups (2-4 per group if possible). 3. Prepare one dissection kit, pan, and clean-up materials per group. 4. Copy the dissection guide for each student. 5. Copy the External and Internal Shrimp Anatomy handouts for each student. 6.
After completing the activities outlined in this lesson plan, students should be able to: Build their own brine shrimp hatcher. Understand the benefit and limitation of live Brine Shrimp. How to separate live brine shrimp nauplii from unhatched eggs and shells. How to feed fish with live brine shrimp.
The brine shrimp is found in inland salt water bodies such as the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah, on the rocky coast south of San Francisco, and in the Caspian Sea. They also occur in many other bodies of water with any salt content, including the intermountain desert region of the western United States, salt swamps near any coast, and many ...
