IN THE WATER
A characteristic species inhabiting the salt basins is the Brine Shrimp, no more than a centimetre long bright red type of plankton.
Well adapted to the high salinity of the water in the basins is also the Mediterranean Killifish Aphanius fasciatus. Quite common in the water are the Marine Crab Carcinus aestuarii and the decapod crustacean Marsh Shrimp Upogebia littoralis.
