Product Description
Brine shrimp, also known as Artemia, are tiny aquatic crustaceans belonging to the genus Artemia. These minuscule creatures are found worldwide in various salty environments like salt ponds, inland salt lakes, and coastal lagoons. They're built to survive in highly saline conditions, even areas with seriously concentrated salt.
They can also "lay low" and survive tough environmental conditions by entering a dormant state called a cyst. When faced with things like drought or extreme salinity, their eggs can go into hibernation, remaining viable for a long time. When conditions become favorable again, they hatch into active brine shrimp nauplii (baby brine shrimp).
Brine shrimp are widely used in aquaculture and as a food source for all kinds of aquatic life. Because their larvae are so small and nutritious, nauplii (the larval stage) make fantastic live food for farmed fish, crustaceans, and other aquatic organisms. These tiny larvae are packed with protein, fat, and essential fatty acids, providing vital nutrients for developing aquatic animals.
Plus, brine shrimp are a popular choice for scientific research and education. Their ability to enter suspended animation and their key role in aquatic ecosystems make them valuable for studying various biological processes and ecological interactions.
Here are some advantages:
1. Sparks Natural Feeding Behavior: Live food encourages animals to eat.
2. Easy to Obtain: Durable eggs are easy to store and can be used year-round to raise adults.
3. Diverse Nutrients: They are easy to raise, so they can be nutritionally enriched with various nutritional substances, according to needs.
