Information
has glosseng: A hypersaline lake is a landlocked body of water, that contains significant concentrations of sodium chloride or other mineral salts. Typical saline levels surpass that of ocean water (i.e. 31.5 grams/liter). There are specific microbial and crustacean species that thrive in these high salinity environments, that are otherwise inhospitable to most lifeforms. Some of these species attain dormancy when they are desiccated and certain species have been shown to survive for over 250 million years.
