Brine Shrimp Lab

In this lab we looked at how certain brine shrimp in a given population are evolved to survive in different salinity's of water.  We placed Brine shrimp in 0, .5, 1, 1.5, and 2% concentrations of salt water.  A different amount survived in each salinity because not all brine shrimp are mutated to survive in one specific concentration.  The majority did show .5% was the most ideal environment to survive in.  It is impossible for the brine shrimp to all adapt to one salinity in as they are put in water because they are not able to adapt immediately to their situation like humans.  This would take them many generations.
