The goal of the webinar was to document differences in practices used by fish and crustacean hatcheries in the use of Artemia cysts for the preparation of live feeds. Over time, the practices used by hatcheries in Asia, Europe and Latin America have diverged from the good aquaculture practices for Artemia production recommended by FAO in the 1996 Live Food Manual.

The technical programme included presentations from twelve speakers from around the world, with an introduction from the Director General of NACA, Huang Jie. The webinar was attended by 359 people from 53 countries.

The webinar was facilitated by the International Artemia Aquaculture Consortium (under formation) as a follow up to the recommendations of the recent article Past, present and future scenarios for SDG-aligned brine shrimp Artemia aquaculture in FAO Aquaculture News. It was hosted by the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific.

Video recordings of the presentations and the report of the webinar are linked below.
