The nutritional chemistry of thedecapsulated cysts of four geographical strains of the brine shrimp Artemia Salina (L)

I. Cysts of Artemia salina (L.) from Australia, Colombia, Utah (USA) and San Francisco(USA) were decapsulated and analyzed for their nutritional value .2. Australian and Colombian strains were high in carbohydrate, Utah and San Francisco strains hadhigh protein contents and the Utah strain had a very high percentage of lipid.3. The fatty acid profiles of all strains were similar, although the San Francisco and Australian cysts were higher in 22:6 and lower in 18:0 than the other two groups.4. There did not appear to be any differences in the amino acid contents.
