Utah's 2 newest symbols recognize the vital roles each play in the state's ecosystem.
Salt Lake City's Emerson Elementary School sixth-grader Camila Reza looks over a sample of Great Salt Lake water in class on Jan. 13. The class inspired HB137, a bill designating brine shrimp as Utah's state crustacean.
There's a multimillion-dollar industry related to harvesting cysts laid by brine shrimp, which are then used as food for fish and commercially grown shrimp, Luft explains. The Great Salt Lake's commercial brine shrimp fishery accounts for about 40% of the worldwide demand for brine shrimp needed in the fish and shrimp industry.
"The importance of the brine shrimp in the Great Salt Lake ecosystem can't be overstated," Luft said Monday. "We are thrilled about the designation of the brine shrimp as the state crustacean and the attention they are getting for their role at the Great Salt Lake."The brine shrimp and porcini mushroom join an ever-growing list of state symbols.
