Ecology: Instream habitat: Fairy Brine shrimp occur in temporary freshwater including, pools, ditches, rock holes, and ponds.
Feeding ecology: They are planktonic filter feeders. This means they use a groove between the bases of their legs to filter microscopic organisms from the water.

Habit: Fairy Brine Shrimp swim with their ventral surface uppermost.
Life history: Males use the enlarged antennae to grasp females during copulation. Eggs are resistant to desiccation and are activated by the presence of water. Branchinella can develop from resting eggs to a dense population quickly after inundation. Nuisance blooms can occur.
