Enrichment of live foods by essential nutrients such as highly unsaturated fatty acids is an important tool for improvement of larval fish quality. In this study, nutritional effects of Artemia urmiana enriched by fish and plant oils on growth, survival rate, body compositions and resistance against thermal, salinity and hypoxic stresses in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss were examined. Six ...

We tested whether Artemia abd-A could repress limbs in Drosophila embryos, and found that although abd-A transcripts were produced, ABD-A protein was not. Similarly, developing Artemia epidermal cells showed expression of abd-A transcripts without accumulation of ABD-A protein. This finding in Artemia reveals a new variation in Hox gene function that is associated with morphological evolution. ...

Drewes (updated, 2002) http://www.zool.iastate.edu/~c_drewes/ http://www.zool.iastate.edu/~c_drewes/Artemph.jpg Taxonomy Phylum: Arthropoda Subphylum): Crustacea Class: Branchiopoda (includes fairy shrimp, brine shrimp, daphnia, clam shrimp, tadpole shrimp) Order: Anostraca (brine shrimp and fairy shrimp) Genus and species: Artemia franciscana (= the North American versio...

bacillus spp. are gram-positive spore-forming bacteria used commercially as probiotics in the larviculture of fish. bacillus spp. can act positively on cultured organisms by enhancing their survival and growth, stimulating their digestive and immune systems, and improving water quality. in this present study, grass carp larvae were fed on artemia urmiana, artemia fransiscana and artemia parthen...

artemia, a small crustacean, with high commercial value is a valuable model organism for researchers. this creature by tolerating extreme range of different environmental conditions is dispersed to more than 600 and 18 sites over the world and iran, respectively. tashk lake is one the natural parthenogenetic artemia habitat in iran. due to occurrence of an unknown bisexual artemia in tashk lake...

The use of juvenile Artemia as feed in aquaculture and in the pet shop industry has been getting more attention during the last decade. In this study, the use of selected bacterial strains to improve the nutritional value of dry food for Artemia juveniles and to obtain control of the associated microbial community was examined. Nine bacterial strains were selected based on their positive effect...

The lethal responses to cadmium of instar II nauplii from eight populations of Artemia belonging to the species Artemia franciscana, Artemia salina, Artemia persimilis, and Artemia parthenogenetica have been compared. Generalized linear models were used to fit mortality. The model indicates that there is a relationship between species, type of population, and mortality rate. The two populations...
