“…(1997). The brine shrimps, Artemia parthenogenetica Bowen & Sterling (parthenogenetic strain of Artemia ), were collected from salt pans located near Kelambakkam (11°N; 80°E) (Chennai, India) and maintained according to the procedure outlined by Basil et al. (1995).…”

This study was performed to assess the nutritional value of Streptocephalus dichotomus nauplii and compared with standard larval diet and parthenogenetic strain of Artemia nauplii. The effectiveness of live feed was determined by feeding freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae. Results on the growth rate, weight gain, survival, fatty acid and amino acid composition show a significant variation between the dietary treatments. Mean larval growth was significantly different (P < 0.001) between control diet (13.5 ± 0.5 mm) and live feeds (Streptocephalus nauplii; 18.4 ± 0.5 mm and Artemia nauplii 18.7 ± 0.2 mm). The weight of larvae-fed Streptocephalus (41.1 ± 1.44 mg) and Artemia nauplii (41.7 ± 0.2 mg) was not significantly different; however, treatment with live feeds was significantly higher than the control (16.3 ± 0.5 mg) (P < 0.001). Proximate composition on the fairy shrimp reveals that they are rich in protein, lipid, essential amino acids (EAA) and essential fatty acids (EFA). The polyenoic unsaturated fatty acid (18 : 2 n-6 and 18 : 3 n-3) and highly unsaturated fatty acid (20 : 4 n-3 and 20 : 5 n-3) show a dramatic increase in larval tissue relative to its proportional composition in the live diets. Amino acid composition in the live feeds, Streptocephalus and Artemia nauplii, perfectly reflects on the amino acid proportions in the larvaefed diets which confirm its utilization. KEY WORDS

“…The quality seeds of catfishes are mostly dependent on proper feed management in which production of live foods particularly the tubificid worms in rearing catfish larvae is important (Hossain et al 2011) Live food organisms like Daphnia sp. (Marian and Chandran 1989) and Artemia (Dwivedi et al 1980, Basil et al 1987Marian et al 1991, Marian, 1993 have been cultured using organic waste like cowdung, poultry manure, cabbage wastes, coconut mesocarp waste and pig dung in order to reduce the production cost as well as to utilize the waste for food production.…”

Study has been conducted to establish a suitable culture technique for Tubificid worm, Tubifex tubifex using different culture media. Cowdung, Rawfish and vegetables were evaluated as culture medium. Each medium was supplied as supplementary food at the rate of 250 mg/cm2 per week for 145 days. Water temperature, pH and ammonia of the rearing media ranged from 27.1-31.670C, 5.76-7.35 and 0.5 - <2.5 mg/l respectively. Among the three media, the worms grew well in size in the cowdung medium whereas rawfish showed a moderate growth of worms with remarkable number of new generation of worms. There was no significant growth of worms in the vegetables. The collection of Tubifex was quite difficult but highest amount was in cow dung (8.192 mg/g), moderate in rawfish medium (4.14 mg/g) and lowest in the vegetables (2.43 mg/g). Cowdung medium showed the maximum growth in this study period which is more viable, easy and economical.Bangladesh J. Zool. 42(1): 117-122, 2014

“…For three strains of Artemia (Tuticorin, USA, Belgian), diets containing organic manures (with varying percentages of incorporation) were used. These diets included cabbage leaves, cow, swine, and chicken manures (Basil et al 1995). Vahdat et al ( 2018) showed a higher level of vermicompost powder in Artemia culture required a longer time (by 20%) to reach maturity.…”

“…The application of various techniques to increase extensive, intensive, and super-intensive mass production in large earthen salt ponds, outdoor environments, as well as in indoor, recirculation, and bio oc systems is the result of reductions occurring in the natural resources as well as rising demand for Artemia cysts. (Baert et al 1997 Artemia species are typically fed on agricultural waste products, organic manures, brans (rice, wheat, and corn), and/or industrially processed feed that includes a variety of pelleted soy protein, whey, algal dried powder, yeasts, and bacteria (single-cell proteins) as the only foodstuffs and/or supplemental feeds in addition to other sources like microalgae (Basil et al 1995;Zmora and Shpigel 2006;Anh et al 2009;Vahdat and Oroujlou 2021). Different live and dried unicellular algae, including Dunaliella, are frequently used as food for Artemia; however, the pricey and time-consuming process of algal production is considered to be one of the major limitations in the mass culture of Artemia (Coutteau et al 1992;Lavens and Sorgeloos 1996;Naegel 1999;Maldonado-Montiel et al 2003;Vahdat et al 2022).…”

The supply of food is one of the most crucial factors in the culture of Artemiabecause the larviculture of fish and shellfish is inextricably dependent on live food. This study focused on adjusting the C/N ratio in Artemia franciscana diets in-vivo by adding raffinate and limiting of algae. The nauplii of Artemia were fed seven feeding treatments, including a control diet and six experimental feeds with varying concentrations of raffinate and algae. The findings demonstrated that Artemia fed a diet containing 10% algae and 1.25% raffinate performed marginally better in terms of survival, but with significantly higher growth, the total number of offspring, alkaline protease, amylase, and lipase activities were detected compared to control. When Artemia was fed 10% algae and 1.25% raffinate did the higher biomass and lower FCR become statistically significant. The body protein showed a significant increase when compared to C/N 3.5 (high diet protein). In conclusion, diets containing algae (from 60–80 percent less than control) and raffinate improved growth, biomass production, and reproductive productivity in C/N 9.5 to 10.5.
