Since 200 million of years, the primeval shrimps (Branchiopods) are
existing
without having changed - they are living fossils. In perfect adaptation to
temporary freshwater ponds or salt lakes, they have developed resting eggs
which contain an embryo. These eggs are able to resist many decades of
dryness. The embryo can survive without any metabolism. But how can these
seemingly dead embryos prevent decay? What switches life on again? The film
demonstrates ecology and life strategy of branchiopods, including the
latest
research results regarding the permanent eggs and some aspects of human
use.

Key words: Branchiopods, Notostraca, Conchostraca, Anostraca, Living
Fossils,
