There is little to no societal impact from this experiment as Brine shrimps or artemia are invertebrates but are part of our animal society thus there is a bit societal impact that then happens from this experiment.
(When the cysts become wet, they begin to swell with water. After about 18 to 24 hours at 78 degrees Fahrenheit, they begin to hatch. Larval shrimp look nothing like adults and are called nauplii. They have a single eye, no mouth, and no anus; so they do not eat Many people know that brine shrimps are essential to the success of their aquarium but do not know how to hatch the brine shrimps. Thus it is necessary that they know the correct amount of salt to add in the water for the highest hatch rate.
This research is vital as if people add too much or too little salt in the water the brine shrimps are hatched in, the brine shrimps will die inside their eggs leading in the loss of lives of animals.
and cannot process food. But they are packed with energy: proteins, highly unsaturated fatty acids, enzymes and more. All of these just happen to be what larval fish need to help them off to a good start.
During the first 12 or so hours of life (called Instar 1), nauplii use this stored energy. They are attracted to light, so they begin swimming near the surface of the water and preparing for their first molt. Immediately after the first molt, the nauplii take in water and swell up before the chitin in their shells hardens. This is the way all crustaceans grow. At this point, they are known as Instar 2, and they have a mouth and anus, so they can begin eating. Their diet is the same as that of the adults, consisting of microscopic free-floating algae, bacteria, and even some detritus, though algae make up the vast majority of their diet. Over the next several days, they molt up to 10 more times before finally reaching adult size and form.) This tells me most of the steps I need to do for the experiment.
