title: Biological Characteristics of Artemia Parthenogenetic Populations (Crustacea Anostraca) from Algeria: Survival, Growth and Reproduction
abstract: The brine shrimp Artemia is an important live feed used worldwide in shrimp and fish larviculture. Parthenogenetic strains are less known and less used, compared to bisexual, owing to their larger size and their dominant ovoviviparous mode of reproduction. The life cycles of Artemia parthenogenetic population from two Algerian salterns (Sidi Bouziane and Bethioua) were studied under laboratory conditions in order to provide additional data for future management of aquaculture farming.
