Conservancy Fairy Shrimp
The conservancy fairy shrimp (''Branchinecta conservatio'') is a small crustacean in the family Branchinectidae. It ranges in size from about to long. Fairy shrimp are aquatic species in the order Anostraca. They have delicate elongate bodies, large stalked compound eyes, no carapaces, and eleven pairs of swimming legs. They glide gracefully upside down, swimming by beating their legs in a complex, wavelike movement that passes from front to back. Fairy shrimp feed on algae, bacteria, protozoa, rotifers and detritus. This species is endemic to California in the United States. Ecology Conservancy fairy shrimp inhabit rather large, moderately turbid cool-water vernal pools which fill with water in the rainy season, then slowly dry up from their outer, more shallow edges to their deeper areas in the center. However, the shrimp are gone long before the pool finally dries up. The fairy shrimp have been spotted and collected in vernal pools from early November to early April. Female ...

Branchinecta Gigas
''Branchinecta gigas'' is a species of fairy shrimp that lives in western Canada and the United States. It is the largest species of fairy shrimp, growing up to long. It is known commonly as the giant fairy shrimp. Description Females reach sexual maturity when they are long, and grow up to long; males reach only . Unpublished records exist of individuals up to long. Despite being the largest species, ''B. gigas'' has the proportionally smallest eyes of any species in the family, and possibly in all Anostraca. Distribution ''Branchinecta gigas'' has been found in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Washington, Montana, Oregon, North Dakota, Utah, Nevada and California. A related species, '' B. raptor'', occurs in Idaho. Ecology and behaviour ''B. gigas'' lives in hypersaline lakes and rivers, with salinity ranging from 1.8‰ to 5.8‰. These waters often have high turbidity (low visibility), and so ''B. gigas'' hunts by touch rather than by sight. When feeding, ''B. gigas'' adopts a "h ...

Branchinecta Gaini
''Branchinecta gaini'' is a species of fairy shrimp from Antarctica and Patagonia. It is the largest freshwater invertebrate in Antarctica, at long. It lives on bacteria and other organisms, surviving the winter as resting eggs. Distribution ''B. gaini'' is found from "half-way down the Antarctic Peninsula" northwards, including southernmost South America and subantarctic islands such as South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands. It is the only fairy shrimp on mainland Antarctica, where it is "rather widespread on the Antarctic Peninsula"; records of "''Branchinecta granulosa''" from Antarctica are all misidentifications of ''B. gaini''. In the South Shetland Islands, ''B. gaini'' has been recorded from the lakes on the ice-free Byers Peninsula of Livingston Island (alongside '' Boeckella poppei'' and the benthic cladoceran '' Macrothrix ciliata''), in Lake Wujka, and in Sombre Lake on Signy Island (alongside ''Boeckella poppei'' and the carnivorous '' Parabroteus sarsi''). ...
