What are facts about brine shrimp?
Brine shrimp refers to Artemia salina and about 10 other related species. They are rather small anostracans, reaching only 0.6 in (15 mm) in length. The color varies from almost hyaline and transparent to bright red. The male antenna is strongly modified, but is not sufficient to identify the species. Microcharacters are required for identification, as well as biochemical and molecular methods.
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.

When the shrimp have turned pink in color they are cooked.
It might seem weird, but shrimp cook fast. Think about how fast something very small cooks. If you have a piece of meat the size of a thimble and you put it in boiling water it will cook in seconds. Now if you put a piece in the size of a footbal it would take much longer. It's the same principle how long it takes to cook a thick burger and a thin burger. Think how long it would take to cook meat the size of peas. It would cook as soon as it hit the water.
If you put s 25-30 count shrimp into boiling water the inside of the shrimp will become very hot in a few seconds. So you aren't cooking the meat like boiling muskrats. It only has to reach high temperature.
So experiment. Take a shrimp and dip it into a pot of boiling water and see if a small shrimp won't become very hot in a minute. For a large shrimp it might take 3 minutes. But the thing is having boiling water that when the shrimp are dumped in it doesn't lower the water temperature. If you dump five pounds of shrimp into one gallon of boiling water it will take 20 minutes to cook.
Does the colour of light affect brine shrimp?
because they like the light and it helps hatch the eggs.

How do you cook frozen breaded shrimp?
If it were me I'd use unfrozen, raw shrimp...it only takes a few minutes to cook through.
When I want to cook thawed, pre-cooked shrimp in a frying pan however I make sure it's totally thawed and I also pat it dry. I make sure my pan and whatever I've got in there is up to temp, toss in the shrimp and stir. Not too much liquid, depending on what you're making, or it will just steam/simmer.
You've got to be really careful with this though since the shrimp will get super tough and rubbery if cooked too long. Raw shrimp is definitely better-it turns from grey to pink and is nice and juicy and not too tough.
