Unpublished records exist of individuals up to long. Despite being the largest species, ''B. gigas'' has the proportionally smallest eyes of any species in the family, and possibly in all Anostraca.

Branchinecta Gaini
''Branchinecta gaini'' is a species of fairy shrimp from Antarctica and Patagonia. It is the largest freshwater invertebrate in Antarctica, at long. It lives on bacteria and other organisms, surviving the winter as resting eggs. Distribution ''Branchinecta gaini'' is found from "half-way down the Antarctic Peninsula" northwards, including southernmost South America and subantarctic islands such as South Georgia and the South Orkney Islands. It is the only fairy shrimp on mainland Antarctica, where it is "rather widespread on the Antarctic Peninsula"; records of "''Branchinecta granulosa''" from Antarctica are all misidentifications of ''B. gaini''. In the South Shetland Islands, ''B. gaini'' has been recorded from the lakes on the ice-free Byers Peninsula of Livingston Island (alongside '' Boeckella poppei'' and the benthic cladoceran '' Macrothrix ciliata''), in Lake Wujka, and in Sombre Lake on Signy Island (alongside ''Boeckella poppei'' and the carnivorous '' Parabroteus sa ...
