USGS Utah Water Science Center: Great Salt Lake

USGS Utah Water Science Center: Great Salt Lake: " Adult shrimp feed primarily on phytoplankton (algae) suspended in the water but can also "graze" on benthic algae such as blue-greens or diatoms growing on the bottom of Great Salt Lake in shallow areas. They also may reprocess fecal pellets excreted earlier in the year when large numbers of phytoplankton present in their diet were incompletely processed. A recent study showed that the shrimp can graze on diatoms that colonize shrimp exoskeleton parts released from their many molts. As the food supply becomes exhausted, salinity increases, dissolved oxygen decreases, or a combination of these conditions occurs, the female shrimp switch from producing live young to producing cysts through oviparous reproduction"

USGS Utah Water Science Center: Great Salt Lake: "The nauplii molt about 15 times before reaching adult size of about 10 millimeters in length."

USGS Utah Water Science Center: Great Salt Lake: "decreasing dissolved oxygen, fertilized female shrimp may produce eggs that hatch soon after emerging from the ovisac to produce nauplius larvae, which is known as ovoviparous reproduction. If conditions are perfect, the female can live as long as 3 months and produce as many as 300 live nauplii or cysts every 4 days. However, the cold spring-time temperatures and variable food supply in Great Salt Lake usually limit the population to two or three generations per year."

USGS Utah Water Science Center: Great Salt Lake: "Depending on the water temperature, the larvae remain in this stage for about 12 hours, subsisting on yolk reserves before molting to the second nauplius stage, which feeds on small algal cells and detritus using hair-like structures on the antennae known as setae.

Although the cysts are very small (about 200 micrometers in diameter; 50 could fit on the head of a pin) at times they become so numerous that they form large red-brown streaks on the surface of the lake. Under optimum conditions of food supply and lack of stress from increasing salinity or decreasing dissolved oxygen, fertilized female shrimp may produce eggs that hatch soon after emerging from the ovisac to produce nauplius larvae, which is known as ovoviparous reproduction."

Hall Of Shame.US - group at My World Of Work

Hall Of Shame.US - group at My World Of Work: " there are rules, and there are exceptions to the rules. Here is one such company formally nominated to the Hall of Shame.US:

http://directlinecruises.com/

This company simply put profits before people, and when I went out of my way, to request assistance (and it was not even my money, or a cruise that I was going on) all with reasonable requests, the customer service person said that they are not "making any money" on this cruise based on the number of conversations they have notated.

When I was merely being assertive and requesting that the company "compromise on it's policy" the representative simply said, that they can't do this for everyone. Later to someone else they spoken, they even had the nerve to "call me rude" when I was politely yet assertively, requesting to speak to a supervisor. "

WHEN EARTH AGED 4.5 BILLION YRS AFTER THE 7 DAYS OF CREATION WHICH HAPPENED BY MY ELOHIM(ENERGY) AND THE ONLY ELOHIM(ENERGY) YHVH, AN ASTEROID HIT ATLANTIS. AXIAL TILT OF EARTH IS THE REASON OF 1)4 SEASONS 2)AMPLITUDE OF SUN IN THE SKY 3)LENGTH OF DAYS 4) 12 MONTH OF YR. WHEN AXIAL TILT WAS ZERO 1)WE HAD ONE SEASON 2)ALWAYS SUN HAD THE SAME ALTITUDE IN THE SKY 3)DAYS HAD THE SAME LENGTH 4) WE HAD UNKNOWN NUMBER OF MONTHS FOR A YEAR AS WE COULD NOT SET A DEFINITE TIME FOR START OF THE YEAR AS WE HAD 1 SEASON. NOW WHEN THE ASTEROID HIT ATLANTIS WHICH WAS AS BIG AS LIBYA(ACCORDING TO GREEKS) AND WAS NEXT TO SUDAN, SUDDENLY IT SANK AND ALSO ITS CULTURE. SINCE THEN ALL HUMANS HAVE CAME FROM EVOLUTION AND THE ASTEROID BECAME DUST!"
