A
rtemia (brine shrimp) is used as a live-feed stuff for seed fish in fish
hatcheries and aquarium fisheries. Nutritional properties of Artemia are
in close relationship with the nutritional facts of the microalgae it is fed by.
In this study, 20 different microalgae and cyanobacteria (indigenous strains
from
Dunaliella, Isochrysis, Phaeodactylum, Tetraselmis, Nannochloropsis,
Spirulina, Synechocystis, Synechococcus, Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, and
Scenedesmus
genus) were supplied to
A. franciscana
as food source and
growth characteristics of
A. franciscana
and were followed during 10 days of
growth. Seven microalgae strains were selected for Artemia breeding and dry
weight, total protein, starch and lipid contents of microalgae and
A. franciscana
were recorded. Then, microalgae were exposed to N-, S-, P-deprivation and
high salt stress for 5 days of incubation. Total lipid, protein and carbohydrate
contents of those strains were recorded and 5-days stress exposed microalgae
were supplied to
A. franciscana
as only food source. Lastly total lipid, protein
and carbohydrate content of
A. franciscana
was followed during 10 days of
growth. In most cases, feeding
A. franciscana
with D. tertiolecta was superior
to other strains studied.
