Abstract
Artemia cysts from 4 geographical strains were incubated under standard hatching conditions at 5 different light intensities. Hatching rates increased with increasing light intensities. The light-intensity threshold at which the maximal hatching rate was attained, varied from strain to strain. Differences in light sensitvity between the Artemia strains studied can at least partly be attributed to variation in chorion characteristics. Light might act as a diapause inhibitor in marine and freshwater branchiopods.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
