Abstract
Artemia salina has been reared on unialgal diets of Phaeodactylum tricornutum, Monochrysis lutheri, Platymonas tetrahele and Chlamydomonas sp. In most instances the component fatty-acid distribution of the Artemia bore little resemblance to that of its food. Thus, oleic and stearic acids are relatively enriched in the shrimps, whereas hexadecatetraenoic acid is much depleted. It is suggested that the metabolic requirements of the shrimps is of at least equal importance to the composition of their food in determining the component fatty-acid distribution of their lipids.Keywords
