Artemia salina
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Artemia salina is a species of brine shrimp, primitive, aquatic crustacean that are more closely related to Triops and cladocerans than to true shrimps. It is a very old species that did not change much for around 100 million years. Adult individuals have three eyes and 11 pairs of legs. Blood contains hemoglobin (same as in humans). In nature, they live in salt water, however not in the sea but in various salt lakes. They are almost never found in an open sea, most likely because of the lack of food and relative defenselessness. However Artemia have been observed in Elkhorn Slough that is connected to the sea.
Artemia can live in water having much more or much less salt content than normal seawater. They tolerate salt amounts as high as 50 % that is near saturated solution, and for several days can live in solutions very different from the sea water as potassium permanganate or silver nitrate, while iodine that is a frequent addition to the human edible salt is harmful for them. The shrimp color depends on salt concentration (under high concentrations it becomes slightly red). For the short time shrimps also survive in a Fresh Water but die after about an hour. Artemia can grow about 15 mm in size. These shrimps feed mainly on green algae.
Males differ from females by two large antenna on the head. Unusally, males have two reproduction organs. The females can produce eggs either in a usual way or via parthenogenesis. There are two types of eggs: the thin shell eggs that hatch immediately and the thick shell eggs. The thick shell eggs can remain in a dormant state, in cysts (that already consist of multiple cells), for a number of years until they are placed in water. Thick shell eggs are produced when the water is drying (the concentration of salt is raising). They need to dry out before they hatch (otherwise they would hatch immediately and no eggs would be left when the watter dries up). If the female dies, the eggs develop further.
Eggs hatch into nauplii that is about 0.5 mm length. They have one single simple eye that only senses the presence and direction of light. Nauplii swim towards the light but adult individuals swim away from it. Later, the two more capable eyes develop but the initial eye also stays, resulting three eye creatures. Unlike the most of aquatic species, Artemia swims upside down.
The resilience of these creatures make them ideal test samples in experiments. Artemia is one of the standard organisms for testing toxicity of various chemicals. In addition, the eggs survive for years in the shop until they are sold and used. Hence it is possible to buy eggs and also "Artemia growing kits" for children, containing eggs, salt, food and most necessary tools. Children have the possibility to observe the life cycle of this interesting organism. Aquaristic shops also sell frozen shrimps as Fish Food. Artemia occurs in vast numbers in Great Salt Lake where it is commercially important. However, nowadays it is believed, that this lake is inhabited by another brine shrimp species, i.e. Artemia franciscana.
