Video recordings: Safeguarding salt lake brine shrimp (Artemia) resources for aquaculture https://artemia.info/rss/?id=95 A training project on management of Artemia resources and salt lake habitats was held from 2-6 September 2024 in Rome, Italy. The project addressed the hydrological, biological, ecological, wildlife and legislative aspects of Artemia resource management, conservation and farming. Many salt lakes are under threat of drying up because of water diversion and/or climate change. Brine shrimp develop dense monocultures in these lakes and play a crucial role in the survival of migrating birds. They are also an important resource to the global aquaculture industry, with Artemia cysts underpinning hatchery production for around US$10 billion of aquaculture product. Artemia species and strains need to be safeguarded and characterised for use in aquaculture. The ecological heterogeneity and dynamics of their salt lake habitats, influenced by climate change and human intervention, require an integrated and coordinated approach to their management and utilisation. The training was organised by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific, the International Artemia Aquaculture Consortium, and also by the Alliance of National and International Science Organizations for the Belt and Road Regions and Belgian Royal Academy for Overseas Sciences, which provided the financial support that made the activity possible.
