OPTIMAL WATER CHARACTERISTICS FOR COMMERCIAL PRODUCTION OF CYSTS OF THE BRINE SHRIMP, ARTEMIA IN SALT PONDS BY R. K. SINGH 1 ) and P. A. KHANDAGALE Taraporevala Marine Biological Research Station, New Administrative Building, Govt. Colony, Bandra (E), Mumbai – 400 051, India ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted to identify optimal water depth, pH, salinity, and temperature in salt ponds, for influencing cyst production of the brine shrimp, Artemia . The results show that a water depth of 40 cm gave the highest cyst production (63.7 kg/ha) followed by 30 cm depth (52.1 kg/ha), in 90 days. Cyst production decreased with an increase in water depth from 40 to 50 and further to 60 cm. Cyst production started at a salinity of 95 ppt and higher. The highest production of cysts was recorded on the 39th day after the introduction of the nauplii in the salt ponds. A pH above 7.5 was suitable, while a water temperature of 31 ◦ C gave the highest survival (43%) of Artemia nauplii on the 15th day in comparison to 55% on the first day. The lowest survival, 25%, was recorded on the 1st day at 35 ◦ C, which further reduced to 8%
