BRINE SHRIMP EGGS ARTEMIA CYSTS 

Description

Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans known as brine shrimp.

The ability of the Artemia to produce dormant eggs, known as cysts, has led to extensive use of Artemia in aquaculture.The cysts may be stored for long periods and hatched on demand to provide a convenient form of live feed for larval fish, crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill.

Storing Brine Shrimp Eggs

All brine shrimp eggs need to be stored as follows:

in a tightly sealed container; free from moisture; and in a cool environment at or below 50°F. 

(Refrigeration is ideal for short term storage, i.e., less than three to four weeks; for longer term storage, eggs are best kept at or below freezing.)

Keep in mind that freezing can lower metabolic activity and delay hatch-out. Removing egg from the freezer one day in advance of using it is recommended.

HATCHING INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Use clean sea water or salt water or fresh water with specific gravity of 1.015-1.020 (salinity 25-28 ppt.)               should be used.                                                                                                        2.  1 teaspoon approximately per 300 fish fry.                                                                                      3.   Optimum pH is 7.5 - 8.5                                                                                                                  4.   Density of eggs should not exceed 2 g. per liter.                                                                            5.   Water temperature 25 – 30 degrees.                                                                                              6.   Incubation period for optimum hatching time is 24 hours.
