>For the Internet software project, see SeaMonkey.For the 1992 television series, see The Amazing Live Sea Monkeys.Sea-Monkeys are a hybrid of Artemia salina, a species of brine shrimp. These are a type of fairy shrimp -- not true shrimp, but a branchiopod. The term Sea-Monkeys (sometimes unhyphenated) is a trademark used to sell them as a novelty gift. They originate in salt lakes and salt evaporation flats. Sea-Monkey can reproduce female and female or male and female. Also when the eggs are laid there are fewer males than females per "litter". This is probably because they are not needed for reproduction. Females will even stop reproducing with the males when the male population gets to low.
