Abstract
For characterization of strains of the brine Artemia of different geographical, a standard culture test was developed in order to statistically compare growth and survival of larvae of different strains. Geographical strains [25] were studied, including for 3 strains, analyses of cysts harvested at different times. Important differences in rates of growth and survival were observed between strains but not among batches of the same strain. Best performances were noted for strains from Bahia Salinas (Puerto Rico), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Chaplin Lake (Canada), Great Salt Lake (Utah, USA), Galera Zamba and Manaure (Colombia).This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
