Two <i>Artemia</i> species (<i>Artemia franciscana</i>, GSL strain and a population from <i>Artemia sinica</i>, ARC No. 1188) were enriched with two different emulsions containing high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (23 and 44% of total fatty acids, respectively) in filtered seawater (30 ppt) at 28°C. After enrichment nauplii were starved for 72h at three different temperatures (6.1, 12.2 and 22°C). Following enrichment the DHA content and DHA/EPA ratio reached a maximum 41.2 and 42.8 mg g<sup>-1</sup> dry weight and 1.88 and 2.09 in <i>A. franciscana</i> and <i>A. sinica</i>, respectively. During starvation at 12.2°C the DHA content in <i>A. franciscana</i>... |
