On a related topic - Tyler Strange and I were sampling floodplain pools this
weekend and found large numbers of clam shrimp (Conchostraca). This was the
first time that I have seen them in Mississippi. We brought a few back
alive. Would like to keep them as long as possible, but Pennak says that
phyllopods (except for brine shrimp) are difficult to maintain. If anyone
has tried to keep this unusual animal, I would like to hear about your
experiences.
