Resumo: 	Due to commercial availability of dried cysts from which live test material can be hatched at will, &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; is used extensively in research and applied toxicology.Despite the extensive literature on dose-effect relationships of chemicals on brine shrimp, it was not until 1980 that an experimental protocol was developed for a simple acute toxicity test with &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; nauplii, meeting the prerequisites for standardization.The reliability and accuracy of this short-term test were determined during an intercalibration exercise involving 80 laboratories and were found to be quite satisfactory. Consequently, the so-called ARC-test, which is one of the very few standardized marine toxicity tests, is now used routinely at the international level. Recent research on the use of the &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; in ecotoxicology has focused on the development of testing procedures and screening bioassays with sublethal responses. The medical, drug, and food sectors seem to use &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; assays as frequently as laboratories investigating environmental concerns. Toxicity tests with brine shrimp have a significant potential in QSAR research because of their simplicity, rapidity, and cost-effectiveness. &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; tests have also a good predictive potential as alternatives for other crustacean test species.This review postulates the future role of &lt;i&gt;Artemia&lt;/i&gt; tests in aquatic toxicology to be that of a reference or quality control in rapid screening tests, as much as that of a predictor of chemical effects on species in marine environments.
