[Artemia salina, algaduart.jpg=29KB]

These Artemia salina, also known as sea monkeys, are hatched from eggs and as nauplii are used as food for the growing crab zoea that are cultured at the Kodiak facilities. The picture here shows all adults, two males and a female. The female is distinct by the eggs clearly seen through the body wall.

For further information regarding Artemia sp., consult the FAO Manual on the Production of Live Food for Aquaculture and the Lab of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center.
