METHOD FOR PRODUCING FREE-SWIMMING ARTEMIA NAUPLII AND A SET FOR AQUACULTURE

摘要

A method is disclosed for producing free swimming Artemia nauplii starting from an amount of cysts of one or more Artemia species, including diapauzing cysts, by incubating the cysts in a hatching medium under conditions allowing at least a portion of the cysts to hatch and to release free swimming nauplii characterized in that the cysts are brought in contact with at least one compound comprising at least one - C(OH)=C(OH)- structure to break diapause in at least a number of said diapauzing cysts in order to enable them to produce free swimming nauplii thereby increasing the hatching percentage of the incubated cysts from X % of the total number of full cysts when the cysts are not brought in contact with said compound to a hatching percentage higher than X % when they are brought in contact with said compound.
