Abstract

Effect of different feeds and salinities on cyst production in Artemia sp.
was studied. Among the 12 different feeds used, ragi powder suspension
showed the best growth and cyst production. A wide range of salinity from
90 to 210 %o was used to study its effect on cyst production. Among all these
treatments, 130 %o salinity was found suitable for induction of oviparity and
cyst production in the San Francisco Bay strain of Artemia sp.
Keywords : Artemia sp., oviparity, cyst, feeds, reproductive capacity
