About Us
We are Artemia Experts
Who We Are
Great Salt Lake Artemia (GSLA) is a global leader in Artemia, with more than 30 years of experience in harvesting, processing, testing, and understanding this important live feed for aquaculture. Our Artemia is harvested exclusively from Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA – one of the world’s most important natural Artemia resources.
GSLA brings together member companies with decades of experience supplying Artemia and hatchery nutrition products to the global aquaculture industry. Our expertise extends from the ecology and responsible harvest of Artemia to processing, quality testing, nutrition, research, and hatchery applications.
Science is central to how we work. By combining extensive Artemia expertise with advanced testing, research, and production practices, we focus on delivering consistent, dependable products while helping customers improve the way Artemia is used in shrimp and fish hatcheries.
Our commitment extends beyond the products we provide. We recognize the importance of protecting Great Salt Lake and supporting the long-term sustainability of its Artemia resource for aquaculture and future generations.
What We Do
From Great Salt Lake to Aquaculture Hatcheries Worldwide
GSLA specializes in the harvesting, processing, testing, and distribution of premium Artemia products from Great Salt Lake. Our experience in Artemia biology and lake ecology informs how we manage and process this natural resource and helps us maintain consistent product quality.
Quality control is integrated throughout our process. Artemia cysts are cleaned and conditioned following harvest, processed using techniques tailored to individual batches, and repeatedly sampled and tested to evaluate hatching characteristics and product quality.
Our expertise also extends beyond Artemia cysts. GSLA provides hatchery diets, broodstock feeds, and Artemia technology designed to support the nutritional and operational needs of shrimp and fish hatcheries.
Research remains an important part of our work. In collaboration with researchers, universities, and industry partners, GSLA supports studies focused on Artemia nutrition, feeding strategies, larval development, hatchery performance, and sustainable management of the Great Salt Lake Artemia resource.
Science, Quality & Innovation – Applying Artemia Science to Real-World Aquaculture
Our understanding of Artemia begins with the resource itself. GSLA scientists and technical specialists study Artemia biology, Great Salt Lake ecology, harvesting, processing, hatching performance, nutrition, and hatchery applications.
That knowledge supports rigorous quality-control practices and the development of practical Artemia technologies. GSLA Artemia is tested to provide reliable hatching performance and is guaranteed to hatch at or above its certified hatch rate.
GSLA has also developed technology-based solutions for hatcheries, including SEP-Art, which uses magnetic separation technology to separate coated cyst material from Artemia nauplii, and Artemia Guard, designed to suppress Vibrio during Artemia hatching and support hatchery biosecurity.
By combining science, research, quality control, and practical hatchery experience, we continually work to improve the value and performance Artemia provides to aquaculture producers.
Responsible Stewardship of Great Salt Lake – Protecting an Important Natural Artemia Resource
Great Salt Lake is more than the source of our Artemia—it is a unique ecosystem and a natural resource that requires responsible, science-based management.
GSLA is committed to conservation and responsible harvesting. We work alongside government agencies, scientists, conservation organizations, and the broader Artemia industry to support sustainable management of the Great Salt Lake Artemia population and the ecosystem that sustains it.
Great Salt Lake’s brine shrimp fishery operates under a science-based harvest management system designed to support a stable Artemia population and sustainable cyst production. The fishery has also achieved Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for sustainable wild fisheries.
For GSLA, sustainability means balancing responsible resource use with long-term ecological stewardship—helping ensure that Great Salt Lake can continue supporting its ecosystem and providing an important source of Artemia for global aquaculture.
