“…The collected cysts were processed according to Sorgeloos, Persoone, Baeza‐Mesa, Bossuyt and Bruggeman (1978) and kept in bottles with crude salt that were stored in a dark and cool place. The decapsulation of cysts was performed according to Bruggeman, Sorgeloos and Vanhaecke (1980) and the hydration of the cysts and the hatching of the nauplii instar I were performed according to the protocol described by Leger and Sorgeloos (1982).…”

Evaluation of a new‐to‐science Artemia population and comparison with four other existing populations were carried out. Five parthenogenetic Artemia populations from the following Greek saltworks were studied: Alyki (a new population), Kalloni, Milos, Polychnitos and Messolongi. The diameters of non‐decapsulated and decapsulated cysts as well as the lengths of nauplii instar stages I, II and III were measured. In addition, the fatty acid composition of decapsulated cysts was estimated. The cyst size of the Alyki population was the smallest, with the largest chorion found in Greece so far. The Messolongi population had the largest cysts, with the smallest chorion of all five populations. The diameter of the non‐decapsulated cysts was highly related (P<0.01) to the length of the nauplii instar I, II and III. The diameter of decapsulated cysts was found to be the most stable and reliable biometric characteristic. The study of their fatty acids profiles revealed that the Polychnitos and Messolongi populations are suitable as live food for freshwater species, while the Alyki, Milos and Kalloni populations are suitable for marine species, having high levels (8.9%, 11.2% and 12.5% respectively) of eicosapentaenoic acid and detectable amounts (0.3%, 0.1% and 0.2% respectively) of docosahexaenoic acid.

“…For example, high hatching efficiency is observed in the batches with small diameter of cysts (Sorgeloos, Persoone, Baeza-Mesa, Bossuyt, & Bruggeman, 1978, Asem et al, 2007. Early research had indicated the existence of iron in the culture medium can cause an increased hemoglobin synthesis and cyst production (Baker, 1966).…”

The quality of Artemia cysts size can be determined by biometrical characterization. In this study, the combined effects of salinity and ferric citrate were studied on the biometric characterization of Artemia by single clonal reproduction under the laboratory condition. Results of control treatment showed increasing of the salinity correlates non-significant with diameter of decapsulated cyst and negatively correlates with the size of untreated cyst and chorion thickness. The effect of low concentrations of ferric citrate (5 and 10 mg/L) led to release the largest cysts in low salinity (35 ppt), while in high concentrations of ferric (20 and 40 mg/L) the largest cyst was released in medium salinity (70 ppt).

“…They can also be stored in laboratory cyst banks for research purposes (e.g., the cyst bank of the Laboratory of Aquaculture and Artemia Reference Center, ARC). Cysts preserved in airtight drums under cold storage conditions (4°C) can remain viable for long periods and can be hatched following well-known standardized protocols (Sorgeloos, Persoone, Baeza-Mesa, Bossuyt, & Bruggeman, 1978). Cysts of Artemia are considered among the most resistant of all animal life history stages to extreme environmental conditions (Clegg & Jackson, 1998;Clegg & Trotman, 2002;Hand & Podrabsky, 2000).…”

Resurrection ecology (RE) is a very powerful approach to address a wide range of question in ecology and evolution. This approach rests on using appropriate model systems, and only few are known to be available. In this study, we show that Artemia has multiple attractive features (short generation time, cyst bank and collections, well‐documented phylogeography, and ecology) for a good RE model. We show in detail with a case study how cysts can be recovered from sediments to document the history and dynamics of a biological invasion. We finally discuss with precise examples the many RE possibilities with this model system: adaptation to climate change, to pollution, to parasites, to invaders and evolution of reproductive systems.
