effects of using n-3 hufa-enriched artemia and non-enriched artemia as the starter food for growth and survival of rainbow trout larvae compared to commercial concentrated food were investigated in this study. the larvae with average weight of 92.9 mg were fed for 20 days with four food treatments included of commercial concentrated food, newly hatched artemia, enriched artemia, and mixture of ...

The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of artemia enriched with lipid emulsions containing highly unsaturated fatty acids on growth and survival of juvenile freshwater crayfish Astacus leptodactylus. Juvenile crayfish were fed artemia enriched with commercial emulsions (red pepper and olio ω3) and un-enriched artemia (control). The highest eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) level was ...

brine shrimp artemia, is a small crustacean which is found naturally in salt lakes and lagoons. sofar several bisexual and parthenogenetic artemia populations have been reported which have different phenotypic and genotypic characters. the biological properties of some populations has not been studied yet. regarding that the populations of turkey have not been characterized so far, in present s...

abstract this study was performed to compare the efficiency of 6 microalgae namely dunaliella tertiolecta, tetraselmis suecica, chlorella sp., (green algae), nannochloropsis oculata, spirolina sp.(blue-green algae) cheatocerus sp. (diatoma),  and isochrices sp. (haptophytae) on the growth, survival and reproduction efficacy in artemia urmiana in laboratory conditions. artemia cysts were harvest...

abstract: chitosan is a natural antimicrobial which is derived from non-toxic animal resources. this study investigated and compared the antimicrobial characteristics of chitosan which was extracted from shell of artemia cyst in the lake of urmia with the same commercial chitosan feature to that of crab shell from a.p.t firm in vietnam. the experiment was carried by means of two fulded method t...

The brine shrimp Artemia is a micro-crustacean, well adapted to the harsh conditions that severely hypersaline environments impose on survival and reproduction. Adaptation to these conditions has taken place at different functional levels or domains, from the individual (molecular-cellular-physiological) to the population level. Such conditions are experienced by very few equivalent macro-plank...

We report the isolation and characterization of an engrailed gene in the crustacean Artemia franciscana. The Artemia gene spans a genomic region of 15 kilobases and the coding sequence is interrupted by two introns. It appears to be the only gene of the engrailed family present in the Artemia genome. The predicted engrailed-like protein is 349 amino acids long and contains several domains inclu...

Adults and nauplii of the brine shrimp, Artemia, together with Vibrio parahaemolyticus, were placed in sewage-contaminated sea-water which had been treated with chlorine dioxide (Hallox E-100TM) to test its potential as a disinfectant for salt water aquaculture. The nauplii were very susceptible to low concentrations of chlorine dioxide (47 micrograms/l Cl-), but the adults were slightly more r...

In a biogeographical context, the term Macaronesia broadly embraces the North Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores, Madeira, Selvagens, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde. The peculiar arid climatic conditions in some of these places have led to the development of marine salt exploitations, which can be counted among the hypersaline habitats of the brine shrimp Artemia (Branchiopoda, Anostraca)....
