This chapter considers life cycle-dependent biochemical and physiological adaptations
critical to the survival of Artemia in nature. Thus, the encysted gastrula embryo ('cyst') is …

The objectives of this volume are to present an up-to-date (literature survey up to 2001)
account of the biology of Artemia focusing particularly upon the major advances in …

Encysted gastrula embryos of the crustacean Artemia franciscana have acquired an array of
adaptations that enable them to survive a wide variety of environmental extremes. The …

Encysted embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, are arguably the most
stress-resistant of all animal life-history stages. One of their many adaptations is the ability to …

The brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is widely used in aquaculture and basic research in
areas ranging from molecular biology to evolution and ecology. A key feature of its life …

Encysted embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp Artemia undergo diapause, a state of profound
dormancy and enhanced stress tolerance. Upon exposure to the appropriate physical …

Oviparously developing embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia, arrest at gastrulation and are
released from females as cysts before entering diapause, a state of dormancy and stress …

The unusual life history of the brine shrimp, Artemia, and the relative ease with which it can
be experimentally manipulated have long made his crustacean a favorite system for …

Encysted embryos (cysts) of the brine shrimp, Artemia, provide excellent opportunities for the
study of biochemical and biophysical adaptation to extremes of environmental stress in …

The brine shrimp Artemia is a micro-crustacean, well adapted to the harsh conditions that
severely hypersaline environments impose on survival and reproduction. Adaptation to …
