High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Branchinecta gaini is a species of fairy shrimp from Antarctica and Patagonia. It is the largest freshwater invertebrate in Antarctica, at 16 mm (0.63 in) long. It lives on bacteria and other organisms, surviving the winter as resting eggs. B. gaini can be quite abundant, dominating the crustacean biomass in freshwater bodies in the South Orkney and South Shetland islands. Branchinecta gaini was first described by the Hungarian biologist Eugen von Daday de Dees (also called Jeno Daday or Jeno Daday de Dees) in 1910 based on material collected from Petermann Island by the Deuxieme Expedition Antarctique Francaise aboard the Pourquoi Pas ?, captained by Jean-Baptiste Charcot; the specific epithet commemorates the French algologist Louis Gain, who was responsible for preserving the specimens from that expedition.
