Giangiorgio Crisponi 716 Posted December 17, 2017 Saline di Cagliari - In the late spring and in summer the waters of the Saline turn taking on a reddish color. When the salt concentration increases the water can take on a reddish color. This phenomenon is due to the presence of microorganisms of red color , the Dunaliella salina and a small crustacean , Artemia salina able to live in these hypersaline environments , which gives this variable with the density and color ranges from pale pink to brick red . The biomass that blooms in the salt marshes is the first link in the food chain of these environments they depend on the brine shrimp and flamingos Nikon D200, Nikon12-24 at 12mm, f/5,6, 1/80sec, ISO 200 Thanks for you comments
