After the gold rush: A review of Artemia cyst production in northeastern Brazil
The genus Artemia (Crustacea; Anostraca) is a complex of sibling species and superspecies defined by the criterion of reproductive isolation. Two sexual species are represented in the New World: Artemia persimilis and Artemia franciscana.

Portuguese native Artemia parthenogenetica and Artemia franciscana survival under different abiotic conditions [PDF]
This study was supported by the FCT (Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology) and European funds (FEDER), through the project >Chemical Wars: the role of chemically mediated interactions in the invasiveness potential of non-native Artemia>, PTDC/MAR/108369/2008 (FCT).

In Vivo Assessment of Zearalenone Toxicity
The microscopic filamentous fungi of the genus Fusarium are capable of producing secondary metabolites—mycotoxins. Fusarium fungi synthesize trichothecenes, zearalenone (ZEA) and fumonisins under appropriate environmental conditions.

Effect of methylparaben in Artemia franciscana
In this study, the toxicity of methylparaben (MeP) an emerging contaminant, was analysed in the sexual species Artemia franciscana, due to its presence in coastal areas and marine saltworks in the Mediterranean region. The acute toxicity (24h-LC50) of MeP in nauplii was tested and its chronic effect (9days) evaluated by measuring survival and growth ...

Phenotypic estimates and heritability values of Artemia franciscana [PDF]
Artemia, in all stages of its life cycle, is suitable food for most diversi¢ed groups of aquatic animals. Although its size at diierent stages restricts its use as a food for some groups of ¢sh, this problem can be overcome using selective breeding techniques.

Respiration of Artemia franciscana cultured under different salinities [PDF]
AbstractThe available studies on oxygen consumption by Artemia related to different salinities reported contradictory results. However, most of these studies have been obtained only for newly hatched nauplii or adults, and have neglected the gradual accommodation that gives a picture about what really happens in nature.

Comparing cestode infections and their consequences for host fitness in two sexual branchiopods: alien Artemia franciscana and native A. salina from syntopic-populations [PDF]
The American brine shrimp Artemia franciscana is invasive in the Mediterranean region where it has displaced native species (the sexual A. salina, and the clonal A. parthenogenetica) from many salt pond complexes.

Settling taxonomic and nomenclatural problems in brine shrimps, Artemia (Crustacea: Branchiopoda: Anostraca), by integrating mitogenomics, marker discordances and nomenclature rules [PDF]
High morphological plasticity in populations of brine shrimp subjected to different environmental conditions, mainly salinity, hindered for centuries the identification of the taxonomic entities encompassed within Artemia.

Molecular characterization of artemin and ferritin from Artemia franciscana [PDF]
Embryos of the brine shrimp, Artemia franciscana, exhibit remarkable resistance to physiological stress, which is temporally correlated with the presence of two proteins, one a small heat shock/α‐crystallin protein termed p26 and the other called artemin, of unknown function.
