	Brine shrimp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are mixed views on whether all brine shrimp are part of one species or whether the varieties that have been identified are properly classified as separate species.
		Brine shrimp can tolerate varying levels of salinity, and a common biology experiment in school is to investigate the effect of salinity levels on the growth of these creatures.
		The nutritional properties of newly hatched brine shrimp make them particularly suitable to be sold as aquarium food as they are high in lipids and unsaturated fatty acids (but low in calcium).

	Brine Shrimp
		Brine shrimp, also called fairy shrimp and sea monkeys in some contexts, are tiny but important organisms found in salt ponds and saline lakes.
		Brine shrimp eggs can lie in the desert for 10 years or more, waiting for the right environment, and then spring into life to start their life cycle again.
		Brine shrimp can be studied as part of a food chain and can be used to demonstrate life cycle.

	Mono Lake Brine Shrimp
		Abundant shrimp provide a feast for the birds, yet the birds barely put a dent in the brine shrimp population until nearly two million Eared Grebes arrive for "shrimp cocktail" in the fall.
		The brine shrimp population dies off as the lake cools in the winter.
		In the late summer and fall, female brine shrimp produce tiny cysts, (dormant, undeveloped embryos), that overwinter at the bottom of the lake.

	Growing Adult Brine Shrimp, by William Berg
		Brine shrimps, or artemia, are a zooplankton used mainly as fry food, but they can also be grown to about 20 mm (0.8 inch) in length and be a valuable food source for adult fishes as well.
		What makes brine shrimps such ideal fry food is their good nutritional value, their ability to live 5 hours in fresh water before dying, and the fact that the eggs can be stored for many years as long as they are kept away from water and oxygen.
		Brine shrimp are drawn to light, and the light from the flashlight will attract them to the light source, keeping them safe while you clean the bottom of the tank.

	Brine Shrimp Hatchery, by Loh Kwek Leong
		To rig up your own brine shrimp hatchery, these are the items you will need - A 1.5 litre plastic bottle (preferably, one with many ribs and grooves on its sides), a one-way gang valve, a bit of string and an air pump.
		Brine shrimp eggs should always be kept in the refrigerator (in the vegetable compartment, not in the freezer) when not in use.
		To harvest the baby brine shrimps, close the gang valve and add half a litre of tap water to the hatchery.

	Brine Shrimp / Artemia / Aquatic Lifeline, Inc. / Environment of the Great Salt Lake
		The Brine Shrimp that inhabit the waters of the Great Salt Lake are a mystery, in and of themselves.
		The brine shrimp here in the Great Salt Lake must tolerate the changing salinity levels (from 7% to 12% or even lower and higher) which are influenced/regulated by the results of high or low water year levels which occur naturally with the weather conditions.
		We have brine shrimp eggs that have been in our freezing unit for over 15 years that we test occasionally for hatching rate changes and they have maintained the same hatch rate quality during all this time (this is an ongoing and long term experiment for our lab).

	How to Harvest and Feed Baby Brine Shrimp to Your Tank by Marc Levenson - Reefkeeping.com
		If you raise brine shrimp from eggs, however, and harvest them while their yolk sac is still attached, you are providing something worthwhile.
		The shrimp will eat the phytoplankton, a process called "gut-loading." Feeding gut-loaded baby brine shrimp to your tank is an excellent practice if there are smaller fish or possibly young fry that need live foods.
		Brine shrimp don't need light to hatch, but the water should be 81 - 82°F, so I place the hatcheries near the same light I use to grow phytoplankton.

	Supplementing Brine Shrimp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Brine shrimp are filter feeders and will eat almost anything, however newly hatched nauplii have no mouths for the first couple of molts, so feeding them right after hatching does little good.
		Brine shrimp nauplii reach the instar 2 stage (when they can begin to feed) about 6 hours after hatching, with nutritional enrichment occuring about 16 hours after feeding, dependent on temperature.
		Aquaculturists have supplemented live brine shrimp with nutritional components such as vitamins or calcium for years, and there are a number of different formulas on the market, with Selcon the one most commonly seen.

	Brine Shrimp
		Because brine shrimp are so desirable as a food source they are found naturally in only about 250 locations around the world, in water bodies so salty that predators and competitors for the same food cannot survive.
		It is this ability of the brine shrimp cysts to remain dormant for long periods of time and then be easily hatched that has made them an easy live food for the use of tropical fish hobbyists and aquaculturist as well as a valuable organism for research.
		Brine shrimp have been found to be a critical food for certain fish at early stages to insure good survival and increased growth.

	RE: Harvesting brine shrimp
		I almost always process a whole hatch jar and pour its contents through a 4 inch brine shrimp net and rinse with approximately a half gallon of fresh water and transfer the rinsed contents of the net back to a "suspension" of fresh water and pour this into my separatory funnel.
		Shrimp not fed during a feeding are usually returned to a fresh solution of salt water.
		From the communication and other information I have read on fairy shrimp over the years is that contrary to brine shrimp where the egg/cyst floats, fairy shrimp cysts do not float and are very difficult to separate from the mulm and detritus (a common problem in attempting to rear/sustain most copeods).
