Ion Pumps Help Brine Shrimp Survive in Salty Waters Significantly
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are one of only two known animals that can survive significantly in salty waters. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Artigas et al. report on a biological innovation that may help these shrimp achieve this remarkable feat (P. Artigas et al. Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA 120, e2313999120; 2023).
