This study was conducted to determine the bacterial composition and its effect on Artemia performance in various biomass culture conditions. Newly hatched franciscana were cultured 1.5L plastic bottles containing 1L of medium, with a density 200 nauplii/L salinity 30 ppt, lasted for three weeks. In first two days after stocking, fed Chaetoceros sp. Afterward, Artemia-formulated feed used as dai...

The brine shrimp, Artemia spp., is widely used in ecotoxicological research as a biological index. In the present study, aquatic stability and acute toxic effects of TiO2, CuO and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) on Artemia franciscana were investigated. Acute exposure was conducted in sea water with different concentrations of selected nanoparticles at 24h, 48h, 72h and 96h. The mortality rate of A. fr...

Nghiên cứu tận dụng sinh khối Artemia (Artemia franciscana) kết hợp rau củ sấy để chế biến sản phẩm gia vị rắc cơm hay còn gọi là furikake đã được thực hiện qua 3 thí nghiệm: (i) nghiên ảnh hưởng của thời gian đến chất lượng khô, rong biển và cà rốt; (ii) tỷ lệ phối trộn cảm quan cơm, (iii) theo dõi sự thay đổi ẩm độ vi vật trong quá trình bảo quản ở nhiệt phòng. Kết quả cho thấy, 6 giờ 60℃ đạt...

Artemia franciscana embryos enter diapause as encysted gastrulae, a physiological state of metabolic dormancy and enhanced stress resistance. The objective of this study was to use RNAi to investigate the function of p26, an abundant, diapause-specific small heat shock protein, in the development and behavior of encysted Artemia embryos (cysts). RNAi methodology was developed where injection of...
