I would tend to question their nutritional value.
Artemia sanfransiciana are scattered through several inland lakes between SF Bay and the Great Salt Lake. The only ones useful for fish foods are from the latter locations. [Gulls are the main reason we have only one species all over our huge SW desert area.]
Detailed study of the value of high-mountain-lake brine shrimp, using young killies as the test fish, have shown that there is no growth at all with the inland lake shrimp vs fast growth with the bay shrimp.
Fairy shrimp may be in that same category, and for the same reasons. They thrive in more barren pools than the Bay and GSL Artemia.
