A cradle aeration system for hatching Artemia

The hatching performance of three types of aeration system was compared. For commercial applications, the cradle aeration system was superior to the single air stone system (90.7 vs 96.5% hatchability). The use of this system resulted in marginal Instar 1 production, lower E-l-arrest, high cyst wate...

Description
Summary:The hatching performance of three types of aeration system was compared. For commercial applications, the cradle aeration system was superior to the single air stone system (90.7 vs 96.5% hatchability). The use of this system resulted in marginal Instar 1 production, lower E-l-arrest, high cyst water hydration activity, minimal nauplii injury, and convenience in harvest.
