Therefore, regular and assured supply of right food organisms in large quantities is a key factor in the successful hatchery management. Among the known live food organisms, nauplii of the brineshrimp Artemia have been reported as the best larval feed for both fish and shellfish because of their many desirable qualities including high protein content.
