Description For the successful culture operations of fin fishes and shellfishes,
feeding the larval, juvenile and adult stages with appropriate, nutritionally
balanced, non-polluting, economically viable and readily
acceptable feed to obtain the optimum growth and survival, is considered
as one of the major requirements in aquaculture practices
the world over. Live feed organisms play an important role in the
dietary regime of cultivable fishes and shellfishes, particularly in
the larval stages, as one or the other live feed organisms form the
principal food of the larvae in nature. Culture of live feed organisms
is identified as an important field as it is one of the major inputs in
the hatchery seed production. Realising this, intensive investigations
in the selection and large scale culture of several live feed organisms,
are being carried out in aquaculture research and development
programmes. Existing literature reveals that only a few
species have been utilized as good live feed organisms and among
them, the brine shrimp Artemia comes in for prime consideration
