| Abstract | In order to alleviate the problems encountered when using live algae or rice bran as Artemia food in intensive culturing, different alternative types of brine shrimp diets have been evaluated. Using a high-density flow-through recirculation culture system, a Single Cell Protein yeast and mixed diets, consisting of this yeast and micronized waste products from agricultural corps, were selected as suitable Artemia feeds.Production yields after 2 weeks culturing varied from 2 to 5 kg live weight brine shrimp biomass per culture tank of 300 l. The mixed diets corn/soybean, corn/ wheat husks, and corn/yeast were found to be suitable or even better alternatives for the rice bran diet which is commonly used for feeding Artemia . |
