Artemia as live food in fish and crustacean larviculture

Laboratory of Aquaculture & Artemia Reference Center, Ghent University, Belgium
Brief History
• 1970 start research on Artemia culturing biology at Ghent University
• as of early ’70s first Artemia cyst use in aquaculture – quick increasein demand – quick increase in price (artificial cyst shortages)
Experience Paper FIR:AQ/Conf/76/E.77 Sorgeloos, P. The brine shrimp Artemia salina:
A bottleneck in mariculture?
POTENTIAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR CRITICAL ARTEMIA SITUATION
• exploitation of more natural resources• transplantation and inoculation of suitable habitats• improved techniques for cyst - harvesting
- processing- storage- hatching
• use of juvenile/adult Artemia biomass as food source
SouthEast Asian Development Center
1977 – start experimental work in the Philippines
first commercial Artemia cyst production in saltponds in
Thailand
1979
FAO project at Chachoengsao DOF station in Thailand- use of Artemia in Macrobrachium hatchery- production of Artemia in seasonal saltponds
Over the years several Artemia development projects have beensupported by the Belgian government and by the EU
(DG DEVCO, DG RTD, DG SANTE) in the Philippines, Indonesia,Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos

Food safety
• Water quality & treatment• Seed performance• Feed quality & safety• Overal hygienic conditions
• Maximal biosecurity• SPF conditions throughout the
production cycle• Buffered microbial conditions (RAS)• Integrated farming principles
with extractive species
Good Aquaculture Practicesnew recommendations
… without healthy SPF fry/post-larvae,genetics don’t mean very much …

Mutual benefits of EU-ASEANcooperation in aquaculture
� Europe will continue to need seafood imports from Southeast Asia
� SEA has the capacity to increase production significantly, and is looking for foreign assistance
� Tackle together the vast problems of the coming decades to solve the seafood security and safety issues
�More concerted efforts to reinforce capacity buildingat academic and vocational level
� Companies from both regions could benefit from increased business interaction
