Approximately 800 species of branchiopods are found worldwide in
freshwater ponds, lakes, and inland saline waters such as the Great
Salt Lake in Utah. Their fossil record includes the extinct order
Lipostraca and dates back to the Devonian period (approximately 400
- 360 million years ago). Some references recognize four extant
orders: Anostraca (fairy shrimps), Notostraca (tadpole shrimps),
Cladocera (water fleas), and Conchostraca (clam shrimps). Members of
these orders are commonly used for aquarium fish food, scientific
research, and once were marketed as pets called sea monkeys. These
small crustaceans are a very important source of food for fish and
birds in nature.

Brine Shrimp and Ecology of Great Salt Lake - contains
information on the life cycle, and commercial fishing of Artemia
franciscana. The brine shrimp, Artemia, belongs to the phylum
Arthropoda (joint-legged invertebrates), class Crustacea (shrimp,
crab, lobster). There are several species of Artemia worldwide;
Artemia franciscana is the species living in Great Salt Lake (and
also in San Francisco Bay). Brine shrimp live in hypersaline lakes
in which the salt content may be 25%, predators and competitors are
few, and algal production is high. The life cycle of Artemia begins
from a dormant cyst that contains an embryo.... |
