Sorgeloos, P. (1985). Potentials of converting microalgae into brine shrimp Artemia. Arch. Hydrobiol. Beih. Ergebn. Limnol. 20: 147-149

High densities of brine shrimp Artemia can be cultured in flow-through systems using the effluent of microalgae cultures as a combined source of culture medium and food. It has been proven at the "St. Croix Artificial Upwelling Mariculture Project" that in comparison with the fast growing clam Tapes japonica, brine shrimp assure a much more efficient conversion of plant into animal biomass. It appears from the given examples that microalgae conversion into brine shrimp Artemia offers efficient and economic applications.
