“…Previous phylogenetic analyses based on the mitochondrial COI and the nuclear ITS1 marker considered the American A. franciscana and Asian Artemia as sister clades, with A. franciscana as a basal for this group. Additionally, A. sinica was reported as the basal clade for Asian Artemia (Baxevanis et al, 2006;Kappas et al, 2009;Maniatsi et al, 2011;Eimanifar et al, 2014Eimanifar et al, , 2020Saji et al, 2019;Asem et al, 2018Asem et al, , 2021a. Our findings, using the complete mitochondrial sequences, also suggest that A. sinica and the American A. franciscana would be divided with a basal node ("ancestral node," according to Omland et al, 2008), in which A. sinica is basal to other Asian species of Artemia.…”

“…The other four species are native to the Old World: A. salina (Linnaeus, 1758) in the Mediterranean region, A. sinica Cai, 1989in China, A. urmiana Günther, 1899 in Lake Urmia (Iran) and the Crimean Peninsula, and A. tibetiana Abatzopoulos, Zhang & Sorgeloos, 1998, in the Tibetan or Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Artemia franciscana has been anthropogenically introduced in Eurasia and Australia (Zheng et al, 2004;Amat et al, 2005;Abatzopoulos et al, 2009;Scalone & Rabet, 2013;Eimanifar et al, 2014Eimanifar et al, , 2020Asem et al, 2018Asem et al, , 2021aSaji et al, 2019;Shen et al, 2021). Obligate parthenogenetic linegaes widely distributed in Eurasia, Africa, and Australia consist of different ploidy (di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-and heteroploids) (Sun et al, 1999;Asem & Sun 2014a, b, ;Asem et al, 2016).…”

Species of Artemia are regionally endemic branchiopod crustaceans composed of sexual species and parthenogenetic lineages, and represent an excellent model for studying adaptation and speciation to extreme and heterogeneous hypersaline environments. We tested hypotheses of whether populations from the Tibetan Plateau belong to A. tibetianaAbatzopoulos, Zhang & Sorgeloos,1998 and whether a population from Kazakhstan is a new species, using other Asian species of Artemia as outgroups. We conducted a multitrait phylogenetic study based on the complete mitogenome, mitochondrial (COI, 12S, 16S) and nuclear (microsatellites, ITS1) markers, and a suit of uni- and multivariate morphological traits. Our results led to the discovery of two new species, one from the Tibetan Plateau (Haiyan Lake) in China (Artemia sorgeloosin. sp.) and a second from Kazakhstan (Artemia amatin. sp.). Our analysis demonstrate that A. tibetiana and A. amatin. sp. are monophyletic, whereas A. sorgeloosin. sp., and A. tibetiana are polyphyletic. Evolutionary relationships based on mitochondrial and nSSR markers suggest that A. tibetiana may have arisen from a past hybridization event of a maternal ancestor of A. tibetiana with A. sorgeloosin. sp. or its ancestor. We present the complete mitogenome of A. tibetiana, A. amatin. sp., and A. sorgeloosin. sp. We also provide a novel taxonomic identification key based on morphology, emphasizing the phenotype as a necessary component of the species concept.

“…Due to the lack of unequivocal morphological characters, there is no classic identification key for Artemia species (Asem et al, 2010-2020). Therefore, molecular phylogenetic methods have been employed to delimit the taxonomic status of Artemia populations (Munoz et al, 2008; Maccari et al, 2013; Eimanifar et al, 2014, 2020; Asem et al, 2016b-2019-2021b; Saji et al, 2019; Shen et al, 2021). Hence, it is necessary to provide a dataset of a large number of sequences from each population, to reliably analyse population genetic and phylogenetic relationships among them (Maccari et al, 2013).…”

Due to the lack of a taxonomic key for the identification of Artemia species, molecular markers have been increasingly used for phylogenetic studies. The mtCOI marker is a regularly considered marker for the molecular systematics of Artemia populations. The proposed universal and specific primers have mostly failed to amplify the Artemia aff. sinica mtCOI marker, and on the whole, the successfully amplified products of the PCR were inefficient, primarily through the representation of poly-peak or incomplete sequences. We presumed that if a forward primer could be developed regarding the joint regions of the last part of the previous gene (tRNATyr) and the beginning of the target gene mtCOI, the sequence could be relevant to the target-sequence of mtCOI. Thus, here, we describe a new set of primers, which could be used to amplify the mtCOI barcoding region of Artemia aff. sinica Cai, 1989, with a high performance of sequencing. The new primer set worked well also for other Artemia bisexual species, as well as for parthenogenetic populations. It is recommended that joint regions between the previous/next gene(s) and the target marker, could be aimed at when designing specific primers for other markers and taxa.

“…Since the 1950s, to support the developing aquaculture industry, the cyst of American Artemia franciscana have been exported overseas from Great Salt Lake and San Francisco Bay in the USA (Van Stappen, 2008; Eimanifar et al, 2014). Due to provide the live food demanded in fishery and regarding to the adaptation ability of A. franciscana in the extreme environmental conditions, it has been cultured in non-native habitats and man-made salterns which has caused the permanent colonization in numerous geographical regions across Eurasia, Mediterranean regions (Amat et al, 2005; Eimanifar et al, 2014, 2020; Scalone and Rabet, 2013; Saji et al, 2019; Shen et al, 2021; Asem et al, 2021) and Australia (Asem et al, 2018).…”

“…Aquaculture industry is the basic and main reason of dispersal of American A. franciscana in non-native habitats especially in Asia (Camara, 2020;Shen et al, 2021). Although genetic variation of invasive A. franciscana has been well studied (Scalone and Rabet, 2013;Eimanifar et al, 2014Eimanifar et al, , 2020Saji et al, 2019;Saad & Elsebaie, 2020;Asem et al, 2018Asem et al, , 2021, there is a lack of information on biometrical variation of cyst in new environments. Beside of several biological factors including nutrition and hatching percentage, the hatching efficiency (the number of nauplii which obtain with per gram of dry cysts) is an important parameter in evaluation of cyst quality and its marketing (Sorgeloos et al, 1978).…”

Artemia is the most common live food which is used in aquaculture worldwide. This study reports on biometrical variation of introduced American Artemia franciscana cyst from 24 non-native localities and two native habitats in Asia and USA, respectively. Results showed the largest diameter of untreated cyst, diameter of decapsulated cyst and thicker chorion ordinarily belong to invasive populations. Because of the small cysts, which have an effect on increasing quantity per unit weight and could be the cause of increased hatching efficiency, commercial productions of A. franciscana cyst from native sources should potentially be considered higher quality than productions from non-indigenous environments. Principal Component Analysis revealed that all cyst batches from San Francisco Bay were classified in one group and the most invasive populations could arrange in other separated group. Although, diameter of decapsulated cyst and chorion thickness showed a negative and significant correlation among invasive populations, there was no significant relationship within native populations. These observations contrast with biometrical patterns of parthenogenetic populations.
