A brine shrimp is a crustacean, like crabs and lobsters. All of its hard parts are on the outside of its body (exoskeleton). 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.
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 ...
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.
Introduction. Most anostracans, or fairy and brine shrimps, are about 10-30 mm long (extreme range 5-150 mm worldwide; 8-50 mm Australia), and consist of a long cylindrical body divided into a head, a thorax with many pairs of foliaceous limbs and the genitalia, and an abdomen. Significantly, anostracan shrimps swim upside down.
• 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 Life Cycle. Each spring as Great Salt Lake warms, masses of brine shrimp cysts begin to hatch. Newly hatched brine shrimp larvae, called nauplii (NAW-plee-eye), dominate the water by late April. As they grow and develop, brine shrimp go through a series of 14 to 17 different stages.
