Features of Growing Live Food Artemia salina in Aquaculture

Abstract

The problem of providing Russians with safe high quality aquaculture products remains essential. It is necessary to achieve the objective of developing the production of live food to cultivate baby fish in Russia, as well as in the Irkutsk region. The aim of the article is to study and introduce the technology of obtaining Artemia salina nauplii. An analysis of contemporary literature on biology, as far as the issues of aquaculture are concerned, proves the necessity of selecting a technology of cultivating nauplii to feed fish at certain age stages. The article summarizes the data on the habitat of Artemia salina in the Russian Federation. The data on the larval stage of the object of the research are specified. Scientific foundations of technological aspects with regard to hatching of hydrobionts Artemia salina larvae are presented. Environmental optimum conditions for swim-up of Artemia depending on the degree of water salinity, oxygen saturation and luminance during the incubation period of small crustaceans are specified. The reasons for giving live food to baby fish are substantiated.
