The role of brine shrimp in sustaining healthy growth in commercial aquaculture

Abstract
As the global population continues to surge, addressing food security has become a priority across multiple industries, with sustainable aquaculture emerging as a critical solution. To meet the escalating demand for aquatic protein, the aquaculture sector is expanding rapidly. However, this growth faces significant challenges, particularly the high mortality rates observed during the larval stages, often attributed to the lack of appropriate nutritional support. Artemia remains the cornerstone of larval feeding due to its convenient shelf-stability, manageable size, and effectiveness as a vector for nutrients. Unfortunately, shifts in global climate patterns have destabilized traditional Artemia cyst supplies, prompting a worldwide shift toward localized production to sustain aquaculture operations. Furthermore, because Artemia serves as a highly effective delivery vehicle, it can be bio-enriched with essential nutrients, significantly improving the survival rates, development, and overall health of larval fish.
