Saline di Cagliari

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
