Sea Monkeys Small Ocean: Small aquatic marvel that reveals sea monkeys' secrets

Overview of Marine Monkeys.

Origins and History.

The term "sea monkeys," which refers to a particular kind of brine shrimp (genus Artemia), has a fascinating past that blends popular culture, science, and business. These microscopic organisms were initially found in salty habitats such as the Great Salt Lake, where they flourish in harsh circumstances that would be uninhabitable for most other kinds of life. The history of sea monkeys begins in the United States in the middle of the 20th century, when they were initially brought as novelty pets.
