Brine shrimp eat phytoplankton, tiny plants that are like dust in the water. I suppose the light helps them see their dinner.

Could they have a parasite that is, through extended phenotypic expression, forcing the shrimp’s detrimental behavior. In the light the shrimp is more exposed to the predators who are the parasite’s final destination.
