I have done a lab in AP biology to measure the optimal pH for brine shrimp. I have gone to our school library and several local libraries, and have found absolutely nothing on the subject, so I am asking here in the hope that someone out there subscribes to the Brine Shrimp Quarterly or something. Does anyone know at what pH brine shrimp live? My teacher says that he thinks it would be sligtly alkaline, but he doesn't know. If no one knows that, then maybe someone knows the pH of some of the places they are found? The great salt lake in Utah, for instance? Can anyone help? -Matt mcrosby@nyx.cs.du.edu ...uunet!isis!nyx!mcrosby

These guys raise brine shrimp all the time and will probably be more of a help.
