If my memory serves me well. This creature is what they were selling on the back of comic books in the 70's. They called them Sea Monkeys. And the drawing on the ad showed a neat little family of web footed people holding hands. I had orderd some and hatched them in water. And was upset that they did not look at all like little web-footed people. But they were neat to watch grow in the water. And the excitement was worth the effort in the long run I guess. Kids love to get excited about something new to try. **Now after some thinking, I realized that the sea monkeys were not tadpole shrimp. They were brine shrimp instead. Sorry my error.

They're also more beneficial to the rice overall. Plus they aren't able to eat ALL of it, only the toughest and fastest growing will survive.

I'm just curious why California is still growing rice when they are quickly running out of water. Grow it here on the east coast again
@gaygengar3 жыл бұрын
exactly what I was thinking! it seems like a massive waste of their already-low freshwater supply.
@lovemoviesful23 жыл бұрын
Because of the environment. California has hot days and cool nights, along with clay soil that holds on to virtually every drop of moisture create the perfect conditions for growing California’s distinctive japonica rice.
@graphite27863 жыл бұрын
I couldn't believe it either! Rice is a crop with very high water consumption, are there not other cereals that would be better suited to the environment?

I guess trading a few rice stocks for less mosquitoes is fair. And actually really cool.

In many Asian counties with high Triops populations, rice plants are started indoors in pots and troughs, and are then planted out in flooded fields once the plants reach a decent size :)

It's funny that the shrimps wouldn't even be a problem if the farmers planted seedlings, as the plants would already be too big to be damaged, but i guess it's cheaper to use more seeds and save labour costs.

Triops!!! I had one of them toy sets as a kid but only managed to grow 2 out of the 30 eggs that was provided. The bigger one ended up cannibalising the substantially smaller one. Then it ended up dying two months later. These events confused me as a kid, but I ended up learning one very important lesson; life is brutal.

Over here in Arizona they come out every monsoon season and kids capture them as pets for the summer. Seems to benefit the little creatures because enough tadpole shrimp are taken away from natural predators and allowed to breed rapidly in tanks, then their mud and eggs are poured back into the areas they're found. For the past four years there's been an explosion of them in the canals and they seem a lot bigger than I remember. Same with the mantises, I saw about six-seven huge green ones in my yard, one laid an eggcase on my patio curtains.
