Side view of beaker of brine shrimp eggs after 12 hours
Side-view of the beaker of brine shrimp eggs after 48 hours
- The difference in the number of hatched brine shrimp is not clearly visible in the photographs of "48 hours" and "36 hours"
Top view of a petri dish of brine shrimp eggs after 36 hours
- I poured out about 200 ml of brine shrimps eggs/salinated water from the beaker into the petri dish, in order to take a clearer and more intimate photograph of the brine shrimp
Side-view of the beaker of brine shrimp after 36 hours
Another top view photograph of the beaker of brine shrimp eggs after 24 hours
NOTE: The number of hatched brine shrimp cannot be counted from the photographs as some might not have been captured by the camera.
NOTE2: The photographs are not in order but they're all of the same set-up
When I took these photographs, I switched off the lights in the room and placed a flashlight at the side of the beaker. Brine shrimp are attracted to light and would gather at lit areas, hence giving me the opportunity to count them reliably and take good quality photographs.

The photographs here are all of the control set-up (with no exposure to low-frequencies). The set-up just consists of 2 beakers of salinated water containing brine shrimp eggs. No other materials or apparatus were used except the counter in counting the brine shrimp. Two beakers were used in order to increase the number of times the experiment was carried out which would improve the consistency of data and reliability of results.
