Applications of Artemia

  • Chapter
Artemia: Basic and Applied Biology

Part of the book series: Biology of Aquatic Organisms ((BOAO,volume 1))

Abstract

Even a cursory glance at the previous chapters on diverse aspects of Artemia will have convinced you of the astonishing convergence of unique features in this one organism, Artemia. It will come as no surprise then, that Artemia is cherished as a study object and a commodity by physiologists, biologists, biochemicists, ecotoxicologists, geneticists, aquaculturists and aquarists.
