Ecological surveys on the parthenogenetic Artemia populations in the hypersaline lakes of Anatolia, Turkey

Abstract: The objective of this study is to provide information on the parthenogenetic Artemia populations in some hypersaline lakes of Anatolia (Tuz, Bolluk, Tersakan, and Acıgöl). Sampling studies were performed for abiotic factors and population parameters between November 2009 and October 2010. During the survey we focused on the local Artemia populations to investigate population dynamics, reproduction, brood size, and cyst and naupliar biometrics. Generally, the Artemia habitats in Anatolia were relatively shallow… Show more

“…In August, the hatching rate increased, and in autumn, this parameter dropped and then elevated in November again. A decrease in the water salinity in spring caused snow melting and precipitation, which leads to the irreversible hydration of cysts and stimulates embryogenesis, but the subsequent development of larvae is impossible at unfavorable conditions, namely low temperatures and lack of sufficient food supply [74][75][76]. This is the main reason for the sharp decrease in the hatching rate of cysts collected in February-July.…”

“…The brine shrimp A. franciscana survived a typical life cycle in and around hypersaline ecosystems by occupying very optimal ecological niches (Frisch et al, 2021; Thirunavukkarasu et al, 2021; De Vos et al, 2021). Usually, females produce nauplii in favorable conditions and dormant cysts in unfavorable conditions (Eskandari & Saygi, 2019; Gajardo & Beardmore, 1989). These conditions are determined by a number of ecological factors, such as salinity, temperature, pH, and so on (Gajardo & Beardmore, 1989).…”
