Boat harvesting brine shrimp in the Great Salt Lake

Brine shrimp harvest reports

Boat harvesting brine shrimp in the Great Salt Lake

Charts, by season, of cyst sample life stages and total cysts harvested

The brine shrimp harvest industry in the Great Salt Lake has been valued at $10 to $60 million, depending on the quality and quantity of brine shrimp cysts harvested. Just as brine shrimp are dependent upon the lake's functioning environment for survival, so are the harvest companies as well. As of 2026, 21 companies are now harvesting brine shrimp in the north and south arms of the lake.

Commercial harvesting of brine shrimp from the Great Salt Lake began in 1950. Today, the terms and conditions for harvesting are established by a DWR administrative rule:

Administrative Rule R657-52

As stated in the rule, companies wishing to harvest shrimp in the Great Salt Lake must purchase a Certificate of Registration annually. Seventy-nine Certificates of Registration are available to purchase each year.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources regulates the harvest and ensures a viable shrimp population by allowing a sufficient number of cysts to repopulate the lake each spring. The estimated minimum cyst number is currently 21 cysts per liter at the end of each harvest season.

The emergency extension of the 2025-26 brine shrimp harvest season will officially close on Feb. 6, 2026, at 5:52 p.m. MST (official sunset) in both the North and South Arms (lake and shore) pursuant to Rule R657-52-12. Harvest may continue on the salt ponds, but must still be reported to the DWR in the same manner as during the regular season.

Please remember to remove all debris and trash from the shore and lake resulting from harvesting activity.

Notice of Emergency Changes to the 2025-26 Utah Brine Shrimp Season

I, Riley Peck, by authority granted in Section 23A-2-203 of the Wildlife Resources code of Utah declare an emergency amendment to the 2025-26 Utah Brine Shrimp Season. The following has been amended:

Brine Shrimp Season Dates:

EXTEND the Brine Shrimp season to close on February 28, 2026, or until Utah Division of Wildlife Resources personnel determine numbers have reached adequate levels to warrant a closure.

According to data collected and analyzed by the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program, the brine shrimp population at the Great Salt Lake has the potential to experience a severe population crash if spring brine shrimp cyst numbers drop below 4 cysts/liter or approach 80 cysts/liter. Currently, numbers indicate that the populations are near 100 cysts/liter. Continued brine shrimp harvest is needed to reach the optimal 21 cysts/liter to prevent a population crash.

This change is effective as of January 15, 2026, and will remain in effect through February 28, 2026.

A mass die-off of eared grebes has been observed on the Great Salt Lake, and several individuals have been submitted for disease testing. Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI- H5N1) is present in other wild bird populations in the area and is the likely cause of the die-off. The following links provide information and safety tips for those encountering dead birds.

Notice of emergency changes to the 2020–21 Utah brine shrimp harvest season

I, Rory Reynolds, by authority granted in Section 23-14-8 of the Wildlife Resources Code of Utah declare an emergency amendment to the 2020–2021 Utah brine shrimp harvest season. The following has been amended:

Great Salt Lake brine shrimp harvest season dates and locations

EXTEND the brine shrimp harvest season thru February 28, 2021 for the South Arm Beach only, or until Utah Division of Wildlife Resources personnel determine that brine shrimp cyst densities have reached adequate levels to warrant a closure.

According to data collected and analyzed by the Great Salt Lake Ecosystem Program, the brine shrimp population in the Great Salt Lake can experience a severe population crash if spring cyst densities drop below 4 cysts/liter or are approaching 80 cysts/liter. Current densities are near 80 cysts/liter. Continued brine shrimp harvest is needed to prevent a population crash.

This change is effective immediately and will remain in effect thru February 28, 2021.

Accordingly, the first seven-day timeout of this harvest season pursuant to Rule R657-52-12(1)(c). The brine shrimp harvesting season in the South Arm (both lake and beach) was suspended on Thursday, January 11, 2018 at 5:20 p.m. MST (official sunset). All other aspects of the rule remain in effect. Harvest will be permitted on the North Arm of the lake during this closure period (both lake and beach).

During the closure period, we will continue to sample and determine if there are sufficient quantities of cysts to resume harvest. If the season resumes, it will open at noon on Friday, January 19, 2018. The decision will be based upon resource conservation. We will be in contact with the harvesting companies toward the end of the closure period regarding our decision.

Daily harvest reports during the timeout will not be required except for harvest occurring in the salt ponds and on the North Arm. Daily harvest reports will still be required for January 11. Weekly harvest reports will also be required at the normal time.

Accordingly, we are exercising the second seven day timeout of this harvest season pursuant to Rule R657-52-12(1)(c). The brine shrimp harvesting season in the South Arm (both lake and beach) will continue to be suspended through Thursday, Jan. 26, 2012. All other aspects of the rule will remain in effect.

During the closure period, we will continue to sample as safe weather allows and determine if there are sufficient quantities of cysts to resume harvest. If the season resumes, it will open at noon on Friday, Jan. 27, 2012. The decision will be based upon resource conservation. We will be in contact with the harvesting companies toward the end of the closure period regarding our decision.

Daily harvest reports during the timeout will be required for harvest occurring in the salt ponds and on the North Arm. Weekly harvest reports will also be required for harvest occurring during this time.

Harvest procedure

Over time, winds and wave action will pile brine shrimp cysts on beaches. The original harvest method was to rake, shovel, bag and then transport cyst piles by ATVs to waiting trucks or boats. This method still accounts for a large proportion of the total product taken from the Great Salt Lake.

Another harvest method is to use large floating mats to accumulate cysts in the water. These mats are referred to as "streaks" or "slicks," and some are large enough to be seen from space.

Harvester boat in the Great Salt Lake

To find a suitable area to harvest, a spotter airplane will fly over the lake, identifying the streaks that are full of cysts and recording their coordinates. The pilot will then radio the coordinates to the harvester boats, which will quickly move to the streaks and then display bright orange-lettered or numbered buoys to claim an area.

Harvesters will then encircle the streak by deploying a floating containment device very similar to an oil containment boom. The cysts within the streak are then condensed into very small hoops, and vacuum pumps pump the cysts into 2,000-pound capacity mesh bags that rest on the deck of the harvester boat.

The contents of these bags are called "raw product," and they must be washed in order to remove any broken shells, feathers or other debris. Additional processing of cysts prior to selling them on the marketplace involves a period of cold storage, washing them with freshwater to remove salt and other debris, drying them and vacuum sealing them in various containers. Once they are fully processed, they are graded based on their hatch rates and sold at different prices based on their grade quality.

As the brine shrimp industry has expanded, technology has as well. Advances in communication, Global Positioning Systems, night vision and spotter airplanes, as well as 20-hour or longer harvest days, have increased the efficiency of the harvest by at least four times. In other words, companies today are able to collect four times the weight of cysts compared to when they started in 1950.

Harvest seasons usually begin in October and end in January, as mandated in the DWR Administrative Rule. The DWR conducts regular sampling runs in the Great Salt Lake during each harvest season to monitor the brine shrimp population, and compiles reports of the commercial harvest totals.
