Artemia salina

The coral reefs are one of the most ecologically diverse ecosystems in the world, as it is home to hundreds of thousands of different species of animals and algae which work symbiotically together to help each other be able to survive and thrive in the environment. One of these very important symbiotic relationships is the connection corals have to an algae called zooxanthellae. Zooxanthellae is a photosynthetic algae that lives inside of coral. It specializes in the production of oxygen and the

3. Brine shrimp have survived successfully since the Triassic period, around 200 million years this has been possible through their unique adaptations which have enabled them to avoid predators and suit their environment. They are pretty good at surviving except in space (who knew radiation isn’t good for shrimp). One of the best adaptations the brine shrimp have is their ability to survive in waters of very high salinity (up to 25%). There optimal levels of salinity are 3-3.5% but they are rarely

Our end results only supported to some extent our hypothesis that increasing numbers of brine shrimp would directly cause decreases in algae concentration. Our hypothesis, if applied to only the jars of 3 and 6 brine shrimp, would be highly supported, due to the significant difference in algae concentrations. Evidently, the more shrimp that were present in the ecosystem, the less algae that were available at the end. In an ecosystem with more consumers, the consumers demand a higher amount of nutrients

AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECTS OF SALINITY ON THE HATCHING OF BRINE SHRIMP WRITTEN BY BRONTE FLYNN Abstract Brine Shrimp are a micro-crustacean that is found mostly in inland saltwater bodies, however, the salinity levels that they live in vary greatly. The conditions that they require can be made at home as the eggs (cysts) of the shrimp are dry, hard shells that can withstand drought and go without water for up to 50 years. This study presents the results of 3 different salinity levelled environments

Pharmacological and Ethnobotanical review of Aristolochia bracteolata L. (Aristolochiaceae) M. B. Patil Department of Botany, J.E.S’s, Arts, Science and Commerce College, Nandurbar E-mail; drmadhukarpatil@gmail.com Abstract The present study deals with review of pharmacological and ethnobotanical uses of Aristolochia bracteolata L. from family Aristolochiaceae is commonly known as Kida-mari, Gidan-pala. The plant has been used widely by traditional practitioners for the treatment of various

Over the past few decades, herbal drugs have become more popular among the people in the world. A regular and widespread use of herbs throughout the world has increased serious concerns over their quality, safety and efficacy. Further about 80% of world population depends on herbal preparations for primary healthcare needs. In many developed countries, 70 to 80 per cent of the populations have used some form of complementary or alternative medicines composed primarily of herbal medicines (Firenzuoli
