Abatzopoulos, T.J.; Zhang, B.; Sorgeloos, P. (1998). International study on Artemia : 59. Artemia tibetiana: preliminary characterization of a new Artemia species found in Tibet (People's Republic of China). Int. J. Salt Lake Res. 7: 41-44

In this study, we report on the existence of a new bisexual Artemia species, found in the high plateaus of Tibet (P.R. China). Different disciplines have been used to characterize this new population: biometrics of cysts and nauplii, morphometry of adults, cytogenetics, allozyme and DNA analyses and cross-breeding/fertility tests with known Artemia species. The results obtained justify that Artemia from Tibet is a new species with the proposed name Artemia tibetiana.
