Higher levels of salinity produce brine shrimp that are smaller, but reach sexual maturity faster than those in lower levels. Also lower levels of salinity tend to allow more predators into the ecosystem.

Are seamonkeys considered brine fish?
They aren't fish. They are brine shrimp. (shrimp = invertebrates)
What is salt water called?
Saline Water.
What is a flamingos role in the ecosystem?
Flamingos help clarify the waters they live in by filter feeding on brine shrimp and blue-green algae
Can brine shrimp survive in a biosphere?
The purpose of a biosphere is to support life, so probably, yes.
What is the niche of seals?
the seahorses' niche is to eat the brine shrimp, phytoplankton and zooplankton in it's habitat (hiding in seaweed) in the sunlight zone.
What are environmental factors that affect brine shrimp hatching?
pH and salinity
Does the colour of light affect brine shrimp?
because they like the light and it helps hatch the eggs.
Does the saltyness of water affect brine shrimp eggs?
yes
Do different salts affect the growth in brine shrimp?
yes
How do brine shrimps respond to light?
Brine shrimp like light, most of their food is available in high levels of light. On the other hand, Artemia brine shrimp are preyed upon by a host of larger animal species, and they might be more susceptible to predation in high light levels.
How do you develop a hypothesis?
to make a hypothesis must include if the and then the ex. if the salinity of the water increases then the more brine shrimp will hatch
What are brine shrimp classified as?
Brine Shrimp are crustaceans.
What do brine-shrimp like?
Brine-shrimp like algae and eggs Brine-shrimp like algae and eggs
What are the effects of fertilizers on brine shrimp?
it kills the brine shrimp (sea monkeys) it kills the brine shrimp (sea monkeys)
At what depth do brine shrimp live?
Brine shrimp thrive in shallow, brackish water.
Do sea monkeys need salt water?
Brine shrimp can tolerate varying levels of salinity. For hatching brine shrimp most people incubate the eggs for 24~48 hours in a saltwater solution and then separate the brine shrimp or sea monkeys from the unhatched eggs and shells. People use a 2-litre wide-mouthed glass jar filled with tap water. They often add 10 to 20 grams (2 to 4 level measured teaspoons) of cooking salt and a pinch (¼ level teaspoon) of Sodium bicarbonate.
What are ideal hatching conditions for brine shrimp?
Brine shrimp hatch in a certain amount of salt in there water. If you are trying to make brine shrimp (sea-monkeys) you need to add half a tbl spoon full of salt to purified water. You can not use tap water they can die. The life span of sea monkeys (brine shrimp) is only 6 to 8 months long. Brine shrimp can survive without food for days even months. Adult brine shrimp can also, survive without water. I am entering the science fare for the fourth grade science fair. My project is on brine shrimp. So far i found out brine shrimp hatches the best in fresh water that has half a tbl spoon full of salt. That is how brine shrimp hatch. BY:Natalie Burnau 4th grade
