“…Long-term genetic adaptation may also influence survival. The high salinities (> 100 ppt sea water) of Lake Grassmere, New Zealand, which have persisted over a 30 yr period, is thought to have contributed to the high survival of this Artemiu strain in elevated salinities (Wear & Haslett, 1986).…”

“…There is evidence that growth rates and efliciency may be maximized at salinities lower than those evaluated here (Reeve, 1963), however the genetic constitution of a population and acclimation history may also play a large role in growth response to salinity (Collins, 1980;Wear & Haslett, 1986). Organisms may compensate for saIinity-induced growth reductions by extending the instar development time so that maximal sizes might still be attained.…”

Relationships between Artemia monica life history characteristics and salinity

et al. 1993

Relationships between Artemia monica life history characteristics and salinity were determined using data from four published studies and three experiments presented here. Salinity explained 40 to 93 percent of the variation in ten life history characteristics. Reductions in hatching success, survival, length, weight, ovigery, and brood size were observed as salinity increased from 76 to 168 g l-I. Inter-brood duration, and time to hatching and reproduction were protracted as salinity was elevated. Salinity effects on life history characteristics appeared to be gradual and continuous rather than exhibiting thresholds. The one exception was naupliar survival, which was constant between 76 and 133 g l-' followed by a decrease above 133 g I-'.

“…Some information is available on the survival and growth rate characteristics of bisexual and parthenogenetic Artemia populations (Vanhaecke et al 1984, Browne et al 1984, Wear & Haslett 1986, Browne & Bowen 1991, Triantaphyllidis et al 1995, Triantaphyllidis et al 1997a, Triantaphyllidis et al 1997b, Browne & Wanigasekera 2000, Abatzopoulos et al 2003, Castro 2004, Abatzopoulos et al 2006b, Agh et al 2008) cultivated in different salinities. Most of these studies mentioned morphometry, life span and reproductive characteristics and also contributed to the evaluation of genetic and environmental components of variance in sexual and clonal Artemia.…”

Abstract:Salinity is an important factor influencing growth and survival of aquatic organisms such as Artemia, a valuable aquaculture species. This study evaluated the effects of salinity on A. franciscana populations from different water bodies in Mexico's Pacific Coast. With this purpose, five autochthonous bisexual Artemia populations were tested to assess their survival and growth values against salinities of 40, 60, 80, 100 and 120g/l, under laboratory conditions (25±2ºC; pH 8-10; constant light and aeration). The organisms were fed with 100mL of rice bran and 2L of Tetraselmis suecica (500 000cel/ml). The culture experiments were made in 200L plastic tanks, and survival and growth final values were obtained after 21 culture days. Survival and growth curves were determined by a regression analysis (R 2 ). The significant differences between salinities were determined by ANOVA test (p<0.05). The best survival and growth rates were found at salinities of 100-120g/l. When the Mexican Artemia populations were cultivated at 40g/l of salinity, 100% mortality was observed in the juvenile stage. This study determined that survival and growth values of A. franciscana populations increased with salinity. The five A. franciscana populations presented significant differences in their survival rate under various salinity regimes. The studied populations experienced high mortality at salinities under 60g/l and over 200g/l, and especially during the metanauplius stage. The present study confirms that growth rates in Mexican A. franciscana populations from Pacific Coast habitats are not inversely proportional to salinity. These A. franciscana populations should be cultured at 100-120g/l of salinity to obtain better survival and growth rates. This data is useful to improve culture systems in aquaculture biomass production systems. Rev. Biol. Trop. 59 (1): 199-206. Epub 2011 March 01.

“…Since the empirical relationship of inter-brood duration to temperature has not been determined for A. monica, we used the data of Wear et al (1986) on a closely related species, A. franciscana. In this study, Wear et al present reproductive data (total number of broods produced and length of reproductive life) at 14, 20 and 26 C. From these data, we calculated an average inter-brood duration for each temperature and fitted an exponential curve to the data.…”

Artemia monica cyst production and recruitment in Mono Lake, California, USA

Annual egg production was determined for Artemia monica in Mono Lake, California, from 1983 to 1987. Annual oviparous (overwintering cyst) production was 3 and 7 million cysts m-2 yr-in 1986 and 1987, respectively, as measured by in situ sediment traps. Cyst production for the entire five year period was calculated using Artemia census data and inter-brood duration derived from mixolimnetic temperature. These estimates ranged from 2 to 5 million cysts m-2 yr-'. This method underestimated annual production by 30%, when compared to estimates using sediment traps. Cyst production was similar during 1983-1986 and showed a significant increase in 1987, which was due primarily to a larger reproductive population later in the year. Recruitment into the adult populations of the following spring ranged between 1.4 to 3.2%. Overall abundance of this generation reflected the patterns in annual cyst production. Compensatory effects must operate on the second generation of each year, since summer populations were similar in all years despite differences in cyst production.
