This project is significant because it could help better understand how UV wavelengths affect people and the hole in the ozone layer. By determining the effects of UV rays on Artemia Salina we come closer to alleviating the effects of UV rays on organisms. In the future this could lead to better UV protection technology.IV: UV exposure in secondsDV: Mortality rateDV2: Growth rate it mm/dayH1=UV radiation will kill more shrimp the longer they are exposed to it.H2=le Artemia are more likely to form defects and some form of stunted growth. N1 = UV will have no effect and there will be no deformities or conditions of any kind on the Artemia Artemia Artemia are small crustaceans that live in saline environments, on inland coasts including species such as shrimp and brine shrimp. These invertebrates are small and generally difficult to see in the water, they have hard exoskeletons and little legs that are really difficult to see. Males give birth to their young through the deposition of cysts, while females produce offspring through live birth, having been around since the Triassic period, prehistoric fish sometimes ate Artemia and other times were caught by flying birds. Artemia Salina or sea monkeys only go to waters close to shore because most of the salt is far from shore and Artemia can only survive at certain levels of salinity, making it a little more difficult to grow in salt ponds. But when the salt levels are right, they perform best in experiments. They have almost no defenses but multiply rapidly and swim quickly. Brine shrimp are also extremely common in marine supply stores, are used for human or fish food and also for a variety of science projects, and have a high sales rate, also due to how expensive they sometimes are. ..... half of the paper ...... now that they have hatched, the shells cannot protect them from UV rays.)5. Recount the larvaeRecount the larvae in exactly the same way as before. The larvae after the radiation should have had some form of effect from the UV such as a low average amount, dead larvae, etc... (Note: if you want to recount again, because you have not seen any effect, it is recommended because the radiation UV does not always have instantaneous effects.) List of materials (in order of use) 1 bottle of Artemia Salina eggs 4 culture plates 1 UV lamp 4 500 ml. Beaker4 Airstones/Air Pumps4 Petri Dishes1 Pipette1 Magnifying Glass1 Stirring WandData Analysis Procedure1. Make a graph representing the number of artemia per 0.5 ml drop when counting artemia.2. After the count, compare the averages of past counts to current ones to find a possible death rate.
