Who'd knew that collecting brine shrimp could be so interesting? Bob Allen gave a great talk about it on Friday. From where his club collects in Utah which was towards the southern part of the Great Salt Lake near I-80 close to where OSI (ocean star intl) harvests, to the reasons why brine shrimp take on different coloration, Bob's speech was chock of insightful tidbits. Case in point. In 2007, he collected 97 lbs of brine shrimp eggs, but did you know it comes out to something close to 11 billion eggs? Like how did he count them??
And another fact. Did you know that good brine shrimp eggs when dry should be dimpled?
