The brine shrimp Artemia is important for aquaculture since it is highly nutritious. It is also used widely in biological studies because it is easy to culture. The aim of the present study is to review the literature on the taxonomical nomenclature of Artemia. The present study indicates the existence of seven species: three living in the Americas, one in Europe, and three in Asia. Keywords: Artemia, saline lakes, morphology, species, taxonomy.

SGMA seeks to achieve sustainability, which is defined as the absence of several undesirable results, including “depletions of interconnected surface water that have significant and unreasonable adverse impacts on beneficial users of surface water” (Water Code §10721). The Nature Conservancy (TNC) is a science-based, nonprofit organization with a mission to conserve the lands and waters on which all life depends. Like humans, plants and animals often rely on groundwater for survival, which is why TNC helped develop, and is now helping to implement, SGMA. Earlier this year, we launched the Groundwater Resource Hub, which is an online resource intended to help make it easier and cheaper to address environmental requirements under SGMA. As a first step in addressing when depletions might have an adverse impact, The Nature Conservancy recommends identifying the beneficial users of surface water, which include environmental users. This is a critical step, as it is impossible to define “significant and unreasonable adverse impacts” without knowing what is being impacted. To make this easy, we are providing this letter and the accompanying documents as the best available science on the freshwater species within the boundary of your groundwater sustainability agency (GSA).

  • Settling Taxonomic and Nomenclatural
    Settling taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in brine shrimps, Artemia (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Anostraca), by integrating mitogenomics, marker discordances and nomenclature rules Lucía Sainz-Escudero1,2, E. Karen López-Estrada1, Paula Carolina Rodríguez-Flores1,3 and Mario García-París1 1 Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (MNCN-CSIC), Madrid, Spain 2 Fundación Global Nature, Las Rozas, Madrid, Spain 3 Centre d’Estudis Avançats de Blanes (CEAB-CSIC), Blanes, Girona, Spain ABSTRACT High morphological plasticity in populations of brine shrimp subjected to different environmental conditions, mainly salinity, hindered for centuries the identification of the taxonomic entities encompassed within Artemia. In addition, the mismatch between molecular and morphological evolution rates complicates the characterization of evolutionary lineages, generating taxonomic problems. Here, we propose a phylogenetic hypothesis for Artemia based on two new complete mitogenomes, and determine levels of congruence in the definition of evolutionary units using nuclear and mtDNA data. We used a fossil of Artemia to calibrate the molecular clock and discuss divergence times within the genus. The hypothesis proposed herein suggests a more recent time frame for lineage splitting than previously considered. Phylogeographic analyses were performed using GenBank available mitochondrial and nuclear markers. Evidence of gen e flow, identified through discordances between nuclear and mtDNA markers, was used to reconsider fi 4 June 2020 the speci c status of some taxa.

  • On a Parthenogenetic Population of Artemia (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from Algeria (El-Bahira, Sétif)
    Sustainability, Agri, Food and Environmental Research 3(4), 2015: 59-65 59 ISSN: 0719-3726 On a parthenogenetic population of Artemia (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) from Algeria (El-Bahira, Sétif) Mounia Amarouayache*1, Naim Belakri 2 1-Marines Bioressources Laboratory, Marine Sciences department, Faculty of Sciences, Annaba University Badji Mokhtar, Annaba 23000, Algeria 2- Direction de la Pêche et des Ressources Halieutiques (Sétif) *corresponding author e.mail: [email protected] Abstract The brine shrimp Artemia is a small crustacean of hypersaline lakes which is commonly used in larviculture. The parthenogenetic population of Artemia from El-Bahira Lake (10 ha area), situated in the High Plateaus of Northeastern Algeria (1034 m alt), has been characterized and surveyed during two hydroperiods of 2009 and 2013. Contrary to other known parthenogenetic populations, which develop in hot seasons and reproduce by ovoviviparity, Artemia from El-Bahira was found to develop only in cold seasons (winter and spring), Àv ]( Z ol }•v[ Ç ]v •µuu. It reproduces by oviparity and produces few cysts (5.69 ± 3.6 and 98.00 ± 28.32 offsprings/brood). Individual density was much lower during the hydroperiod of 2013, whereas fecundity was higher than in the previous hydroperiod (2009). Cyst reserve was estimated at 133.13 kg of dry weight which corresponds to a rate of 13.31 kg.ha-1.

  • Genetic and Morphometric Differentiation in Old World Bisexual Species of Artemia (The Brine Shrimp)
    Heredity 73 (1994) 47—56 Received 16 December 1993 Genetical Society of Great Britain Genetic and morphometric differentiation in Old World bisexual species of Artemia (the brine shrimp) ERNANI J. S. PILLA & JOHN A. BEARDMORE School of Biological Sciences, University of Wa/es, Swansea, Swansea SA2 8PP, U.K. We studied bisexual populations of Eastern Old World (EOW) brine shrimp (Artemia) from China (A. sinica and Artemia sp.), Kazakhstan (Artemia sp.) and Iran (A. urmiana), together with one population of Western Old World (WOW) A. tunisiana (Italy) and a New World (NW) population of A. franciscana (U.S.A.). Allozyme electrophoresis, discriminant analyses of morphometric characters, and laboratory tests for reproductive isolation were performed. Brine shrimp show a wide range of levels of both genetic variation and differentiation, based on 20 loci (mean He =0.058—0.108;Nei's D =0.005—1.501). Mean genetic distance values are of an order usually associated with specific separation. Barriers to gene flow between EOW and WOW populations are not absolute as they are between Old World and New World populations. Among EOW popula- tions no significant reproductive isolation was found, and high levels of genetic differentiation exist (mean FST= 0.6 16) despite minimal apparent reproductive isolation. However, discrimination based on morphometric characters within the EOW group clearly separates A. urmiana from the other populations. The use of male morphometric characters has proven at least as informative in correctly assigning individuals to the appropriate group as the more traditionally used female characters. There is no evident overall congruence between genetic, geographical and morpho- metric distances between the EOW populations studied.
