Why are my artemia nauplii dying?

There are numerous reasons for the death of artemia nauplii, from the quality or contamination of the water used to the quality and quantity of the feed given, the hygiene during rearing and the use of suitable rearing containers. We recommend the specialist book “Artemia – The Prehistoric Crab” by Oliver Drewes from VIVARIA Verlag. The book describes the seven recognized Artemia species according to the current state of knowledge, illustrated with numerous microscope photographs and drawings. After describing the special reproductive biology, the most successful breeding systems are presented. A separate chapter "Artemia in aquarium keeping" provides practical tips, for example on how to increase the hatching rate and survival rate of nauplii and artemia.
