It is one of the very few organisms of any kind that can live and propagate in the Dead Sea, which has a salt concentration about eight times that of seawater.
See on üks neist väga vähestest organismidest, mis on võimelised elama ja paljunema Surnumeres, mille soolakontsentratsioon on tavalisest mereveest umbes kaheksa korda kõrgem.
