GODINEZ, Daniel et al. Crecimiento larvario de Artemia franciscana (Kellog, 1906) alimentada con dos especies de microalgas vivas. Zootecnia Trop. [online]. 2004, vol.22, n.3, pp.265-276. ISSN 0798-7269.

The growth of larval Artemia franciscana was studied while being fed with live Tetraselmis suecica and Chaetoceros muelleri microalgae applied alone or in mixed cultures and at different proportions. Five diets were tested in triplicates during 10 days. Significant differences (P<0.05) were observed from metanauplii II stage onwards. When concluding the postmetanauplii stage V, the treatments where T. suecica, either alone or in a combined diet was provided, the growth of A. franciscana larvae was greater than in that treatments where only C. muelleri was provided.
