DESCRIPTION

Artemia is a genus of aquatic crustaceans known as brine shrimp.

The ability of the Artemia to produce dormant eggs, known as cysts,

has led to extensive use of Artemia in aquaculture.

The cysts may be stored for long periods

and hatched on demand to provide a convenient form of live feed

for larval fish, crabs, lobsters, crayfish, shrimp, krill.



STORING BRINE SHRIMP EGGS

All brine shrimp eggs need to be stored as follows:

In a tightly sealed container; free from moisture; and in a cool environment at or below *0°F. 

(Refrigeration is ideal for short term storage, i.e., less than three to four weeks; for longer term storage, eggs are best kept at or below freezing.)

Keep in mind that freezing can lower metabolic activity and delay hatch-out. Removing egg from the freezer one day in advance of using it is recommended.
