Brine shrimp eggs are the dormant, dehydrated eggs of the Artemia species, commonly known as brine shrimp. Here's a description of brine shrimp eggs:

Appearance:
- Brine shrimp eggs are tiny, usually about 0.5 to 0.7 millimeters in size.
- They have a brownish or reddish color.
Characteristics:
- Brine shrimp eggs are encased in a protective shell, allowing them to withstand harsh environmental conditions.
- They are known for their ability to remain in a state of dormancy until conditions become favorable for hatching.
Hatching Process:
- When placed in water with the right conditions (usually salinity and temperature), brine shrimp eggs hatch into small larvae known as nauplii.
- The hatching process is often quick, and the nauplii can be used as live food for small aquatic organisms.
Common Uses:
- Brine shrimp eggs are commonly used in the aquarium hobby as live food for fish larvae and small aquatic creatures.
- They are also used in scientific research and education to study various biological processes.
Storage:
- Brine shrimp eggs have a long shelf life when stored in a cool and dry environment.
