Triantaphyllidis, G.; Criel, G.R.; Abatzopoulos, T.J.; Sorgeloos, P. (1997). International study on Artemia : 54. Morphological study of Artemia with emphasis to Old World strains : 2. Parthenogenetic populations. Hydrobiologia 357: 155-163

Eleven morphometric and one meristic character in 15 parthenogenetic Artemia populations have been studied by using discriminant and cluster analysis as well as scanning electron microscopy. Discriminant analysis revealed five main groups of morphological patterns: (i) the coastal Chinese populations together with a population from Kazakhstan, (ii) the inland Chinese salt lake populations, (iii) the Greek populations, (iv) one African population from Namibia and (v) a Chinese population from Xuyu (Jiangsu province). Cluster analysis was not always in agreement with discriminant analysis and these results are discussed.
