Null models for understanding fairy shrimp habitats

Animal Biology, 2017
The Chilean fairy shrimp species are represented by the Branchinecta genus, which are poorly described, and mainly occur in shallow ephemeral pools in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile and the Southern Chilean Patagonian plains. The aim of the present study was to perform an initial ecological characterization of Branchinecta habitats and its ...

Crayfish as Possible Agents of Dissemination of Fairy Shrimp into Temporary Ponds

Ecology, 1972
Faxonella clypeata, coinhabitant with fairy shrimp in Louisiana temporary ponds, was fed ovigerous shrimp to test its role as a possible disseminator of anostracan eggs. Viable eggs of Artemia salina were recovered from crayfish feces. In tests utilizing Streptocephalus seali as food, intact eggs were recovered from the feces of 26% of the crayfish, of

Applications of Fairy Shrimps in ornamental fish feeding

International Journal of Aquatic Research and Environmental Studies, 2021
Fairy shrimps (Freshwater Anostraca) offer a variety of applications in aquaculture. They are very important live food in the culture of various aquatic larvae, growth, survival and resistance in different aquatic species especially, freshwater ornamental fish, sturgeon fish, salmon, carp, freshwater crayfish.

A culture system for fairy shrimps (crustacea, anostraca)

Aquacultural Engineering, 1990
Abstract A laboratory system for the semi-automatic culture of fairy shrimps is described and evaluated. The design is directed towards an automation of both the algal food culture and the feeding of the organisms themselves. The fairy shrimps are reared in conical tanks, equipped with a recirculation system consisting of a sand filter.

Origins and dispersal of the Antarctic fairy shrimp

Antarctic Science, 2009
AbstractPassive dispersal has traditionally formed a fundamental component of biogeographical theories of the origin of the fauna that occupy the ice-free habitats of mainland Antarctica. But in the context of an emerging picture of endemism for many Antarctic terrestrial invertebrates, is there still a place for such stochastic processes in Antarctic ...

Fairy shrimps in distress: a molecular taxonomic review of the diverse fairy shrimp genus Branchinella (Anostraca: Thamnocephalidae) in Australia in the light of ongoing environmental change

Hydrobiologia, 2012
Australia, and especially South-Western Australia, is a diversity hotspot for large branchiopod crustaceans. A significant proportion of this diversity is found in the anostracans (Crustacea, Anostraca) and particularly in the diverse genus Branchinella with at least 34 species.

Feeding Mechanism of the Fairy Shrimp

Nature, 1934
IN a recent paper1 Mr. Lowndes has put forward a new view as to the filtratory feeding mechanism of the fairy shrimp, Chirocephalus diaphanus. Hitherto all workers (Storch2, Lundblad3, Naumann4, Borradaile5, Wagler6 and Cannon7) have agreed that the long setae on the edges of the basal endites of the trunk limbs constitute the filter, or at least a ...

Cis-and all-trans-canthaxanthin levels in fairy shrimps

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995
Abstract The carotenoid composition of cysts of seven species of fairy shrimps (Anostraca) was studied using high-performance liquid chromatography. Canthaxanthin was detected as the major pigment, but an important and often predominant fraction of it occurred in the cis-configuration, which is consistent with previous findings in Artemia cysts.

A New Fairy Shrimp Belonging to the Genus Pristicephalus

American Midland Naturalist, 1936
Head very little compressed, front unarmed. Lower antennae of male biarticulate; basal articulation frequently bladder-like, on top side near the base is a serriform appendage, its margin spiny, distal end gradually attenuates; apical joint frequently possesses at its inside base a smooth, nearly straight process without a bend.
