Bettarazzi Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 Yeah... that's what we're talking about. Pity about that. The annoying things is that they occur in Australia, it's just that no one here sells the eggs in a neat little jar convenient for today's busy aquarist. Downside of living on a desert island I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 hmmm... do you think it might be possible to find where they "hang out" and catch them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I just knew you were going to suggest something like that. I don't believe we're allowed to remove native fauna from their natural habitat. But there are probably some researchers somewhere studying the things. They probably don't realise that there is a commercial application for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 hahah expect the worst from me i just read this guys... Buchanans fairy shrimp are a small species of crustacean that are known only from Lake Buchanan in southwest Queensland, and Gidgee and Burkanoko Lakes in the north-west of NSW (approximately 130 km north-west of Bourke). They have not been found anywhere else in this region despite extensive collecting over 15 years. These sites cover a very small area on private land. They do not occur in any designated conservation reserves. The species could be threatened by any number of development activities, such as mineral extraction. Buchanans fairy shrimp are listed as a vulnerable species in NSW. There are heavy penalties for harming, possessing, buying or selling them, or for harming their habitat (see 'Legal Implications'). Got it from here ****** just googled... take a look at Billabong Bugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
