Hatching of Brine shrimp cysts
Fresh cysts were produced from Fisheries Research Center, Okha, Gujarat, India. The cysts were hatched in a hatching tank containing artificial seawater made through dissolving a commercial marine salt (2%) in RO water (mineral water). The tank was well aerated with the aid of an air pump and the proper light source (1000-4000 lux) was also provided. The nauplii were hatched within 24-36 h at 30-35°C.
