Artemia is generally used for feeding the larval and postlarval stages of shrimps and fishes. The larvae of several species of marine fish, e.g., bass, bream, grouper, and turbot, can only be offered an Artemia diet after an initial period on a smaller prey, primarily the rotifer. In contrast to crustacean larvae, marine fish larvae are cultured on Artemia for a much longer period of time (e.g.: 20-40 days). Artemia cyst consumption is also among the highest in marine fish larviculture and ranges from 200 to 500 g per 1000 fry produced. Both live and frozen adult Artemia are used as food for aquarium fish species. Survival, vigor and pigmentation were reported to be significantly improved in several tropical species.
