Abstract
A two-step method is described in which cattle manure is added to seawater and the resulting elutriate is used for the mass culture of two species of algae—Tetraselmis sp. and Chaetoceros gracilis—and the algae are then fed to the brine shrimp, Artemia salina. An initial biomass of 190 g of brine shrimp increased to 2500 g in 14 days. The system is simple to construct and manage, and may serve as a model for other systems used to support aquaculture facilities or may stand by itself if devoted to the tropical fish hobbyist market.
