A few aquatic animals live in the lake's main basin, including centimeter-long brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana). Their tiny, hard-walled eggs or cysts (diameter about 200 micrometers)[46] are harvested in quantity during the fall and early winter. They are fed to prawns in Asia,[38] sold as novelty "Sea-Monkeys," sold either live or dehydrated in pet stores as a fish food, and used in testing of toxins, drugs, and other chemicals.[4] There are also two species of brine fly[47] as well as protozoa, rotifers, bacteria and algae.
