This study aimed to evaluate the effects of using Artemia franciscana enriched with cod liver oil and vitamins C and E on the growth, survival and stress resistance of juvenile Sepia pharaonis (Pharaoh cuttlefish). Twenty-five days after hatching, the larvae of S. pharaonis were transferred into culture tanks with an average length of 15.97±0.15 mm and average body weight of 3.53±0.03 g, in ele...

Artemia urmiana nauplii were enriched with three different concentrations (100, 200 and 300 ppm) of commercial emulsion, ICES/30/4 during two periods (12 and 24 h) to evaluate the enhancement of its Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFAs). This source was selected because of its high concentration of the longest chain HUFA's in the n-3 and n-6 series. When 24-h-old Artemia nauplii were enriched ...

the present study investigates the possibility of enriching adult artemia franciscana with singular or combined administration of pediococcus acidilactici and fructooligosaccharide (fos). the experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with four treatments, including synbiotic, p. acidilactici +fos (t1), probiotic, p. acidilactici (t2), prebiotic, fos (t3) and control (t4). to ev...

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 ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of enrichment of artemia with sea weed extract (padina sp.) on the survival and growth rates of post larvae of western white shrimp (litopenaeus vannamei). this investigation was conducted in the shrimp research center, bushehr, iran. the experimental design was done in three dietary treatments with three replications which were conducted in 9 w...

Dietary enrichments with the arachidonic acid (ARA)-rich microalga, Parietochloris incisa, on the survival of guppy (Poecilia reticulata) fry were examined. Diets were applied via Artemia enrichment to fish from two commercial farms for 34 and 36 days of experimental period (trials 1 and 2, respectively). In trial 1, Artemia nauplii were enriched with dry biomass of whole algal cells at 0 (cont...

Feeding farmed Artemia with yeast heat shock proteins is a novel way to protect them from stress conditions during the culture.  In this study, the effect of feeding with stressed new identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain YG3-1 yeasts (containing induced heat shock proteins) on the survival of Artemia in stress conditions, was evaluated. For this purpose, heat shock proteins 82 (Hsps 82) o...
