Brine shrimp eggs. Light micrograph of eggs from the brine shrimp Artemia salina. This shrimp is adapted to the extreme conditions found in salt lakes,and if there is not enough oxygen or if salinity is too low or too high,it will lay eggs coated in a resistant layer. This enables survival in extreme temperatures as well. Floating on the surface of the water,the eggs can survive for many years before hatching. These eggs are from the salt marshes of the Camargue in France | |
