I thought the paper you posted reached the opposite conclusion? How big
do you think the "guts" of brine shrimp is? How much volume of food can
they hold, compared with their overall volume...

No conclusions about gut loading can be made from this study, if all
that's available is posted in that link. The shrimp would have to be
analyzed both fasted and unfasted to distinguish between differences in
body composition and gut loading.
