Artemia biodiversity : current global resources and their sustainable exploitation

Objective

Recent Intensive research of the brine shrimp Artemia (distribution, ecology, strain characteristic and aquaculture applications; it is the most common larviculture live food) has lead to the identification of new species and the development of new biochemical and genetic description techniques. Its natural resources are exploited intensively, at times at the edge of extinction; endemic strains are out competed by introduced more productive foreign ones. In spite of massive literature of a growing number of specialists, integration of knowledge into a conceptual framework is lacking: expertise is often confined, both geographically and methodologically. This global concerted Artemia- study consists of a training and workshop programme, resulting in technical intercalibration, integration of current ecological and evolutionary concepts, and uniformus methods to assess population dynamics. Guidelines, issued on sustainable exploitation and strain introduction, will be tools for authorities to protect biodiversity and to avert overexploitation and extinction of strains. Artemia will be a model organism for other animals facing similar risks.
