Essential Fatty Acids
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA 20:5n-3), improves survival
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA 22:6n-3)
accumulating in the brain of larval fish, improves pigmentation of flat fish, improves growth and development.
Arachidonic acid (ARA 20:4n-6)
substrate for producing eicosanoids 16:0n-9 and 18:1n-9 promote growth

HUFAs
In Artemia, levels of EPA vary tremendously from strain to strain and even from batch to batch.
Commercial quantities of Artemia cysts naturally containing high EPA levels are limited and consequently, these cysts are very expensive. Therefore, high-EPA cysts are used for feeding of unenriched nauplii.

Enrichment with HUFAs
Artemia are non selective for feed uptake but are selective for catabolism so although DHA and ARA are ingested they are selectively catabolised.
Artemia require a relatively long time to enrich with HUFAs.

Proteins
Protein content of rotifers vary between 28 and 67% of dry weight.
Variability is dependant on nutritional status Protein:lipid ratio is positively correlated to
SGR with fast growing rotifers (high protein to lipid ratios) giving better larval growth and survival (Turbot).
Protein and has great affect on early larval production success.

Amino acids
The amino acid composition of Artemia nauplii seems to be remarkably similar from strain to strain, suggesting that it is not environmentally determined.
The levels of essential amino acids in Artemia are generally not a major problem in view of its nutritional value, but sulphur amino acids, like methionine, are the first limiting amino acids

Vitamins
Artemia cysts (San Francisco Bay) were analysed for the content of various vitamins and were found to contain high levels of
Thiamin (7-13 g.g-1) Niacin (68-108 g.g-1) Riboflavin (15-23 g.g-1) Pantothenic acid (56-72 g.g-1) Retinol (10-48 g.g-1).

Vitamin C
In Artemia cysts, Vitamin C is found as ascorbic acid 2-sulfate (AAS) which is a very stable form but with low bio-availability.
During the hatching process the AAS is hydrolyzed into free ascorbic acid, a more unstable form, but directly available in the nauplii for the predator.
Ascorbic acid levels in Artemia nauplii vary between 300 and 550 g g-1 DW.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C can assist with stress tolerance and reduce deformity (opercular plate for bream)
High levels of free ascorbic acid (AA) can be incorporated into Artemia.
A 10%-AP inclusion enhances the natural levels by 50%, however, a 20 or 30% addition increases AA levels in Artemia respectively 3-fold and 6-fold after 24 h enrichment at 270C.
These AA concentrations do not drop when the enriched nauplii are stored.

Other Vitamins
Fat soluble vitamins (especially vitamin A and vitamin E) can accumulate in Artemia during a short-term (9 h) enrichment period.
Vitamin A levels can increase from below 1 IU.g-1
(WW basis) to over 16 IU.g-1
Vitamin E levels can increase from below 20 g.g-1 to about 250 g.g-1.

Carotenoids
In Artemia cysts and nauplii, there are qualitative differences in carotenoid pattern, and more specifically the canthaxanthin content.
In Artemia cysts, the unusual cis-configuration is found, whereas in developing nauplii it is converted into the more stable trans-canthaxanthin.

Enzymes
The presence of several proteolytic enzymes in developing Artemia embryos and Artemia nauplii indicates that those exogenous enzymes play a significant role in the breakdown of the Artemia nauplii in the digestive tract of the predator larvae.
This is important in view of the relatively low levels of digestive enzymes in many first-feeding larvae and the poor performance of prepared feeds versus live prey.

Minerals
The mineral requirements of marine larvae are poorly known but may be met by the seawater that they drink.
The main concern about Artemia mineral composition is whether they meet the requirements of freshwater organisms in culture particularly the levels of selenium.

Phospolipids
used for the formation of cell components particularly during rapid growth periods
during rapid growth phospholipids probably not produced fast enough to meet requirements
found to reduce malformation in larvae

Standardisation
It is necessary to try and standardise the bioencapsulation technique (e.g. using disinfected cysts, applying standard aeration methods) as there can be high variability in the essential fatty acid composition of Artemia nauplii when enriched by the same person or by various people.
Average (n-3) HUFA levels in enriched Artemia meta-nauplii vary among hatcheries from 2.8 to 4.7% on DW basis.

Disinfection during enrichment
Enrichments that contain bacteriostats giving continuous disinfection during the enrichment process have been developed. The DC Selco or Micro control concept ensures enriched Artemia nauplii that contain much less Vibrio.
The most recent development is the "all-in-one" concept which makes it possible to hatch and enrich decapsulated cysts in the same tank without problems of mortalities and/or bacterial blooming
