- Abstract
Some biological and ecological aspects of Artemia salina from Chott Marouane (northeast Algeria) were studied during the wet period of 2001. The population develops between late winter and spring. It is adapted to the high salinity of the site, ranging between 230 and 360 psu. Sex-ratio is in favour of males. These are smaller in size than females: their respective average lengths are 6.02 and 7.01 mm. Oviparity is the main mode of reproduction (more than 86.6%). Females produce between 4.9 and 17 cysts/brood, according to the sampling period.
