Abstract
The standard culture test using the mysid MysidopS1S bahia (M.) juveniles as predators was used to determIne the nutntional quality possessed by the first batch of brine shrimp Artemia cysts collected one month after inoculation of the brine shrimp in two salt farms north of Malindi Town,' Kenya. Good growth and survival was observed in all the cases. There was no significant difference (P>O.05) in survival and growth resulting from Artemia collected from the different ecological zones. Fatty acid profiles of the Artemia nauplii indicated high levels of the highly unsaturated fatty acid 20:5w3 in the cysts fromthe two salt farms.
