Aquaculture & Artemia Research
Research Is at Our Core
Advancing Artemia Science and Aquaculture Performance
At Great Salt Lake Artemia, research is fundamental to understanding Artemia, protecting the Great Salt Lake resource, and advancing its use in aquaculture. Our scientific work examines Great Salt Lake ecology, sustainable resource management, Artemia nutrition, and its role in shrimp and fish hatchery production.
Working with researchers, universities, and industry partners, GSLA supports research evaluating Artemia feeding strategies, larval nutrition, survival, growth, stress response, and production performance. This work connects scientific research with practical hatchery applications while supporting responsible management of this important natural Artemia resource.
Explore our research across three primary areas: Lake Management, More Is Better, and Feeds & Nutrition.
Explore research on Great Salt Lake ecology, sustainable Artemia harvesting, population monitoring, and the science-based management practices that protect this important natural resource. Research and long-term management efforts provide a better understanding of Artemia populations, environmental conditions, harvest practices, and the complex Great Salt Lake ecosystem.
This research supports responsible resource management and the continued sustainability of the Great Salt Lake Artemia resource while helping balance ecological stewardship with the importance of Artemia to global aquaculture.
Discover research demonstrating how optimized Artemia inclusion during critical early life stages can improve survival, growth, uniformity, and overall production performance. These studies examine the nutritional benefits of Artemia in hatchery and nursery diets, including how improved early-stage performance can contribute to stronger, more resilient animals and lasting benefits throughout subsequent production stages.
Explore research and trials evaluating Artemia feeding strategies in shrimp and fish production and learn how increased Artemia inclusion can contribute to improved hatchery and nursery performance.
Review research exploring Artemia nutrition, enrichment, feed utilization, and its role in the development of shrimp and fish larvae. These studies examine nutritional quality, digestibility, feeding strategies, and the interaction of Artemia with other hatchery feeds to better understand how effective early-stage nutrition supports healthy development, growth, survival, and overall larval performance.
Our research provides greater insight into the nutritional role of Artemia and how live feeds, enrichment strategies, and formulated hatchery diets can be used to support effective larval feeding programs for aquaculture.
