The reproduction activity of Brachionus depends on the temperature of the ... shape of the lorica and the profile of the spines and ornaments allow the determination of the different species and morphotypes (see 3.4.).

Males have reduced sizes and are less developed than females; some measuring...

Appropriate techniques have thus been developed to improve the lipid profile of deficient Artemia strains, taking advantage of the indiscriminate filter-feeding behaviour of Artemia. ... seemed to be unlimited. However, with the expansion of aquaculture production in the 1970’s, the demand for Artemia cysts soon exceeded the offer and prices rose exponentially, turning Artemia ... or excellent larval food source that it has been credited with.

In general other diapause termination techniques ... pre-emergence embryonic development; subsequent dehydration of these cysts will in the worst case result in the killing of the differentiated embryos. Sufficiently dehydrated cysts only keep their ... packed cysts should be preferentially kept at low temperatures. However, when frozen, the cysts should be acclimated for one week at room temperature before hatching. 4.2.1.4. Diapause As...

Commercial provisions of Artemia cysts containing high EPA levels are limited and consequently, these cysts are very expensive. Therefore, the useof ... is generally used for feeding the late larval and postlarval stages of penaeids.

Screens with a large mesh size are best installed before the pumps, while ... storage. deactivating methods used are described in chapter 4.2.1.4.

It is therefore necessary ... be aware that the greater the surface area of the net the more effective and rapid the filtration. Hence, the upper limit of the dimensions of the nets depends on the ease of handling rather ... due to the narrow and strong back current.
