GROWTH RATE OF NAUPLII
Standard culture tests with brine shrimp from different geographical origin show important
differences in growth rate even within the same sibling species, but not among batches of the
same strain (Table 4.1 .3.). Although in the field the population growth of Artemia (i.e. after
inoculation) is determined by lots of factors, selection of a strain with a high potential growth
rate will have a positive impact on maximal production output.
