Sea Monkeys Kathy Hoppe, Science Support

What are “sea monkeys?” Urban legends Giant killer Sea Monkeys in NYC Sewers! Children flush unwanted Sea Monkeys down the toilet! They grow to enormous size and threaten humans by attacking for revenge. It is even believed that Sea Monkeys play dead just to join the others in the sewer in the fight against the oppressive human population! NOT TRUE! Sea Monkeys only grow to a maximum of about 1 inch.

So….What are Sea Monkeys, really? Brine shrimp other wise known as Brine shrimp Artemia salina Jointed legs and exoskeleton Phylum Arthropoda

Where do they live? Great Salt Lake Utah

San Francisco Bay

What are they used for? Fish Food Who fishes for them?

What about the life cycle of Brine Shrimp? Cysts in diapause Interactive Life Cycle

What do Brine Shrimp eat? Bacteria, algae, small particles of matter

What is the anatomy of the adult Brine Shrimp? How do you tell if one is male or female? Gut Eye Brain Head Tail Female

How do you raise Brine Shrimp? Distilled Water If highly chlorinated, aerate for 72 hours Aerate tap water for 24 hours Fill the bucket to four quart line Add ½ cup of sea salt and stir Aerate for 24 hours Prepare salt water Raise in an aquarium

The Eggs Keep eggs dry until hatching Use a toothpick to add brine shrimp eggs to the culture jar Hatching time is about 1-4 days

What variables will you change?

Maintaining Brine Shrimp Food: Algae Keep cultures in bright sunlight Add aged tap water No rapid temperature change
