Hallo

Mich würde mal interessieren wer von euch sehr nah am großen Utah See wohnt?

Ihr habt ja ein Artemia Paradies vor der Haustür?

Wer von euch erntet dort Artemias? Oder Zysten?

i can see the lake from my backyard, i collected a few hundred about a month ago, but my culture crashed. i collected mainly adults, then i syphoned them all out and i let the lake water sit and a few weeks later i had hundreds of bbs, must be from cycts i collected.

Hi Shane

Da bin ich echt neidisch das ich nicht auch dort wohne. :D

Wie viel ppm Salz hat der See?

Artemias brauchen viel Sauerstoff und man kann sie nur bei maximaler Belüftung in Mengen halten.

Paradise? !

Sylvio, it is not that cool! The runoff from all of our yards goes into it, and it fertilizes the green water and the shrimp grow huge and multicolored. Then, the weather cools and they die and the stink reaches for miles! Harvesting any cysts is really gross because there are these huge spiders that live around the shore, and lots of seagulls that make a huge mess.

I just buy them in a bug can for $10 bucks!

But, it is neat to be able to go there and harvest the full grown shrimp. I keep them alive in a big glass jar (5 gallons) and feed them to wild caught finicky fish to teach them to eat frozen. I have gone there and got some to put in the freezer for the winter. But, that is a pain because there is so much floating crap in the water.

Hi Shane

I am really jealous that I don't live there, too. :D

How much ppm salt does the lake have ?

Artemias need lots of oxygen and you can keep them only in large numbers with maximum aeration.

"The salinity of the water averages about 12%, making it much saltier than the ocean. The water is so buoyant that people can easily float. Freshwater showers are available to rinse off after swimming."



Sylvio have you seen the baby brine shrimp hatcherys that we have now? no light and no airation needed to hatch them. They just show up in the middle and you seive them out!!! I've also noticed they hatch in about half the time. It's magic!!!

Paradies? !

Sylvio, es ist nicht so toll! Das Regenablaufwasser aus unseren Gaertenlaeuft da rein, und es duengt das gruene Wasser und die Shrimp werden riesig und sind mehrfarbig. Dann kuehlt sich das Wetter ab und sie sterben und du riechst den Gestank ueber Meilen! Zysten ernten ist wirklich widerlich, weil da diese grossen Spinnen sind, die am Strand leben und die Moeven machen eine riesige Schweinerei.

Ich kaufe sie einfach in einer Buechse fuer 10 Dollar! I

Aber es ist toll dahin zu gehen und die ausgewachsenen Shrimp zu ernten. Ich halte sie in einem grossen Glasscontainer (5Gallonen) am Leben und fuettere sie an wild gefangene Fisch, die noch sehr maekelig sind, um sie auf gefrorenes Futter vorzubereiten. Ich bin schon hingegangen und habe welche geholt und ins Gefrierfach getan fuer den Winter. Aber das ist auch schwierig, da sehr viel Mist im Wasser schwimmt.
