Abstract

Quality of Artemia from Chott Marouane (Northeast Algeria) was evaluated using biometrics, biochemicals, and cysts hatching descriptors. Hydrated cysts measured 236.5 μm, while the freshly hatched nauplii of Artemia measured 428.7 μm for a weight of 2.3 μg. Cysts that were treated with hydrogen peroxide had a hatching percentage of 69%, which corresponded to an efficiency of 0.44 g. Time required to obtain 90% hatch is 37.5 h. The hatching synchronization time was of 12.5 h. The fatty acids identification showed that the n-3 serial was strongly dominant representing 21.71% to 25.21% of the total fatty acids analyzed. Low level of EPA (1.25%) and DHA absence were noted. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
