Present-Day brine shrimp, now averaging only 3/8" long, provide a highly nutritious food for most aquarium fishes and invertebrates. Brine shrimp and their predecessors have been an important food for aquatic animals for hundreds of millions of years.
THE HISTORY OF BRINE SHRIMP:
Brine shrimp's ancestors lived in North America about 75 million years ago in inland seas and bays, having already survived hundreds of millions of years through previous geologic periods of the Palaeozoic, Triassic and Jurassic.
Brine shrimp are "living fossils" akin to the coelocanth fishes and horseshoe crabs. Brine shrimp survive today as miniature versions of their ancient relatives which were over two feet long. In present-day form these amazing creatures subsist in salinities 3 or more times greater than normal sea water and thereby avoid most enemies. They are in no danger of becoming extinct. Brine shrimp thrive in huge populations in isolated areas of the world, particularly in North America.
