Abstract

The results of long-term monitoring of the abundance and biomass of Artemia on the example of several model lakes in the south of Western Siberia are presented. Based on this, conclusions are drawn about the dynamics of the density of Artemia crustaceans characteristic of shallow lakes of temperate climate, associated with low live birth: a high number Artemia shrimps of the first generation and a low following. It is proposed to inoculate naupliuses in lakes during the period of catastrophic decline in the number of crustaceans, which will create a new powerful generation of Artemia. The results of such experiments are shown on the example of two lakes for two years. An assumption is made about the possibility of using this technology of aquaculture of artemia in other temperate countries. Laboratory and field studies on reducing the incubation time of cysts and early release into the brine of lakes are presented. The influence of brine salinity of lakes on the results of early release of nauplius and non-hatched cysts is shown. The technology of reducing the incubation period of cysts can be used in subtropical and tropical climate.
