Can I slow the rate at which brine shrimp consume their yolk sac by lowering temperature?

The were hatched at 82 degrees F as fry food. Considering they are most nutritious only in the first day or so after hatching because they still have their yolk sac, can I make them last longer by changing temperature now?

how can i measure the hatch rate of brine shrimp?

in chem we are doing a brine shrimp (sea monkey) lab in which we are using 2L bottles, water, salt, and brine shrimp. weve been asked to find out how to measure the hatch rate, if anyone can help id appreciate it. by the way, if youve done a similar experiment, could you give me some pointers on differing levels of salinity affecting hatch rate?

now rate this joke,,?

once,,a monkey and a lizard were hiking,,
suddenly,both were thirsty,,
so,monkey went to drink water first,,from the sea,,while lizard was guarding the bags,,
now monkey came and was lizard’s turn to go and drink water,,
but lizard fell in sea while drinking,,and there came a crocodile,,saved lizard,,and asked everything,,
lizard said ” its all monkey’s fault,,he sent me here “,,
then angry crocodile went to scold monkey,,
but before he could say anything,,monkey saw the crocodile and said ” ohh my god,,how much water did u drink??”,,

water contaminant experiment?

I would like to do an experiment testing the hatching rate of brine shrimp eggs in various concentrations of water contaminants. I need to use solutions which can be easily obtained and that are existent in the natural environment. Any ideas?

Low brine shrimp hatch rate?

I got a hatchery from the petstore, and it came with packets of pre-mixed brine shimp eggs and salt. I ordered some good eggs but these eggs from the pre-mixed packets have a really crappy hatch rate; probably less than 50%. Is there a way I can separate the eggs from the brine shrimp so I don’t put all those eggs into my tank?
