No Thumbnail AvailableProjectBrine shrimp (Artemia salina) inoculation in tropical salt ponds: a preliminary guide for use in Thailand 1979
Also available in:
No results found.This work paper is prepared in view of the wish of the Thai Department of Fisheries to inoculate salt ponds with Artemia salina to produce cysts. Artemia cysts are used to obtain live food in many aquacultural operations, but especially in the hatchery of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii. These inoculations, if successful, could encourage the Thai Government in the future to conduct experiments in large-scale cyst production. Indeed, up to this date, Thailand completely de pends on import of expensive Artemia cysts from abroad. The yearly expenditure in cysts by the Department of Fisheries for the national fisheries stations, is estimated to be more than US$50 000. The inoculation ponds considered are: (i) ponds in the National Fishery Station at Samut Sakhorn (still to be completed), and (ii) privately-owned salt ponds of salt farmers in the vicinity of the National Fishery Station at Chachoengsao. Although previously, several inoculations in other parts of t he world have proven to be successful, no written guides are yet available. Trial inoculations in Thailand being considered important, the necessity was felt to gather all available information on Artemia inoculations and cyst production into one working paper to serve as guide on improving the chances of a successful experiment. -
DocumentTraining workshop on "Safeguarding salt lake brine shrimp (Artemia) resources for aquaculture" - Prospectus and Agenda
Rome, Italy, 2 to 6 September 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.A training workshop on "Safeguarding salt lake brine shrimp (Artemia) resources for aquaculture" is planned to be held at FAO headquarters, from 2 to 6 September 2024. The workshop will be co-organized by FAO in collaboration with the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), with co-sponsorship from the Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions (ANSO) and the Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences (RAOS). Objectives of the training workshop: i) Identify inland salt lakes with Artemia populations that either have disappeared in recent years, or that are under (short/long-term) threat, and in both cases try to identify the causes for their disappearance or threat with focus on hydrological, biological ecological and climate changing aspects; ii) Evaluate methodologies that have been developed to safeguard lost habitats; iii) Review the long-term approach taken by different organizations in the State of Utah (United States of America) to protect the Great Salt Lake habitat and its resources (for wildlife and for the aquaculture industry); iv) Review similar approaches undertaken for the protection of other salt lakes in Asia; v) Review the characterization, monitoring and safeguarding of the gene pool of native and non-native Artemia species and stocks occurring in salt lakes, including guidelines for characterization of genetic resources the establishment of an Artemia cyst bank; vi) Brainstorm development of knowledge products that can enhance future management of inland salt lakes including protocols, suitable legislation and training programs, leading to improved water and nutrient management to protect the endemic Artemia gene pool and manage the resource effectively. -

Also available in:
No results found.This manual is meant as a guideline for Artemia production in salt ponds in the Philippines. We hope that it will not only serve Government workers, but also interested people from the private sector. We are greatly indebted to the Artemia Reference Center of the University of Ghent - Belgium, where many of the described methodologies and know-how originated; to all fish and saltfarmers who gave us an insight in their practical experience; and to the many Government workers who made our survey s possible. Many thanks go also to Mr. R. Manguerra for his fine drawings and to Mrs. J. Daquioag and Mr. L. Iglesias, respectively for typing and mimeographing the manuscript. The drawings in Figs. 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 17 where copied from slides made by Dr. P. Sorgeloos from the Artemia Reference Center, and Fig. 14 is based on a drawing from Metalli and Ballardin.
