Manual artemia

In view of the large variety of species and strains of Artemia that are now available in the market, their specific characteristics should be studied to identify their most suitable application for specific species of fish and crustaceans.

This could relate to their nutritional composition, synchrony in hatching or enrichment characteristics. Initiate strain selection and selective breeding to develop improved Artemia strains for aquaculture applications, noting the availability of the Artemia genome.

Investigate the use of umbrella Artemia as successfully applied in the Vietnamese crab hatcheries for wider application in aquaculture, as a new source of live food in earlier larval stages, be it for shrimp or in fish. Reconsider a wider use of Artemia enrichment techniques in hatcheries, as it is now restricted to applications in marine fish and crab production.

This method not only allows enhancement of the nutritional value of the nauplii but can also be used as a vector to deliver, for example pre- or probiotics to the larvae.

Investigate the impact of climate change on Artemia production in inland lakes and coastal saltworks. The quality of the cysts does not limit the separation process. Recommended maximum density of nauplii in the AutoMag is 3. Skip to content Tools. Drive efficiency in hatcheries. Manual Tool. Sustainable and effective Artemia harvest. Colihueque, M.

The aim of the present manual was therefore to review and summarise the latest developments concerning the production and use of the major live food organisms currently employed in larviculture worldwide.

Lavens, P; Sorgeloos, P. Rome, FAO. ABSTRACT The cultivation of fish and shellfish larvae under controlled hatchery conditions requires not only the development of specific culture techniques, but in most cases also the production and use of live food organisms as feed for the developing larvae.
