TLDR
The Brine Shrimp are aquatic crustaceans in the Artemia Genus. Brine shrimp are raised in captivity usually by aquarium owners for their food supply. They are very resilient which is why they are used to test many different chemicals in labs. When the eggs are laid they come with a chorion coating. The female can ovulate every 140 Hours. When conditions are right the female can have her eggs hatch almost immediately which is mind-blowing to think about. The eggs that undergo these extreme conditions can remain in a stasis-like state for up to 2 years under zero oxygen.via the TL;DR App
