The complete mitochondrial DNA sequence of the crustacean Artemia franciscana
Journal of Molecular Evolution, 1994The complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence of the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana has been determined. It extends the present knowledge of mitochondrial genomes to the crustacean class and supplies molecular markers for future comparative studies in this large branch of the arthropod phylum.

Oxygen bioavailability and haemoglobins in the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana
Marine Biology, 1992Bioavailability of oxygen for the saline-water invertebrate Artemia franciscana was studied, since both oxygen concentration and oxygen diffusion rate change with salinity. Total haemoglobin concentration and the relative contribution of each of three haemoglobins was measured in specimens acclimated to different salinities and oxygen concentrations ...

The pre‐ and postembryonic development of Artemia franciscana (Anostraca: Artemiidae)
Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, 2023AbstractArtemia franciscana is a universal live feed in aquaculture, and it has been reported as an invasive species in many Asian hypersaline ecosystems. The present observations illustrated the pre‐ and postembryonic development stages of the A. franciscana population confined to the Indian saltern of Kelambakkam.

Effects of acidified seawater on biological and physiological responses of Artemia franciscana
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021Ocean acidification is becoming a potential threat to marine animals. The present study investigated the effect of seawater acidification on Artemia franciscana. A. franciscana cysts were allowed to hatch at different pH levels of pH 8.2 (control), 7.8, and 6.8.

ENRICHMENT OF Artemia franciscana AND TOXICITY ANALYSIS OF CHLORPYRIFOS ON ENRICHED ARTEMIA
2021The present study highlights the importance of Artemia as a common fish feed worldwide The Artemia cyst were collected, decapsulated, incubated for harvesting, and washed and separated. The Artemia was fed with two different formulations of feed and the growth of Artemia were observed.

Physiological and histological effects of cadmium, lead, and combined on Artemia franciscana
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021This study analyzed the effects of cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) on growth, sexual couples, and histological structures of Artemia franciscana exposed to individual concentrations of these metals and combined. No histological effects were observed at tissue level in digestive, respiratory, nervous, and reproductive systems (i.e., necrosis, loss of regular

Identification of a Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase in the CrustaceanArtemia franciscana
Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1998Mitochondrial RNA polymerase activity has been isolated from the crustacean Artemia franciscana at two stages of development, dormant embryo and developing larva. The preparations were obtained from purified mitochondria and the polymerase activity was purified by heparin-Sepharose chromatography.

Molecular chaperones, stress resistance and development in Artemia franciscana
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2003Embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, either develop directly into swimming larvae or are released from females as encysted gastrulae (cysts) which enter diapause, a reversible state of dormancy. Metabolic activity in diapause cysts is very low and these embryos are remarkably resistant to physiological stresses.

Gamma Radiation Reduced Toxicity of Azoxystrobin Tested on Artemia franciscana
Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2016Fungicide azoxystrobin toxicity was monitored by means of a 96-h biotest with Artemia franciscana nauplius stages after exposure to solutions with concentrations of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mg L(-1) irradiated with (60)Co gamma radiation with doses of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 kGy. The effects of ionization radiation on azoxystrobin toxicity were mainly manifested

Effect of temperature on the uptake of copper by the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana
Aquatic Toxicology, 1994The effect of temperature on the uptake of copper by the brine shrimp Artemia franciscana has been studied in chemically defined saltwater solutions. Animals were acclimated to temperatures ranging from 10°C to 35°C and exposed to copper at different temperatures within this range. The results show that within each temperature acclimation group, copper
