Artemia biomass is mainly obtained through two methods: artificial fishing and salt field farming:
Artificial fishing
It is mainly concentrated in natural salt lake areas such as the Great Salt Lake in the United States and Shuanghu County in Xizang and chinese Bohaibay. During fishing, it is necessary to overcome the transportation difficulties in high salt environments. In the early stages, due to the need for low-temperature transportation and limited market demand, the industry scale was relatively small.
Salt field aquaculture
Simulating high salt environments in salt fields to cultivate brine worms, for example, Wudi County in Shandong Province has established a processing plant to purchase natural brine worm eggs, with an annual output of hundreds of tons, which can be exported to markets such as Southeast Asia. The first artemia egg deep processing plant has also been built in Shuanghu County, Xizang, with an annual output value of more than 10 million yuan.
Though the price is very cheap,but it contain abundant protein, complete amino acid composition, and relatively high crude fat content, with unsaturated fatty acids being higher than saturated fatty acids.From the P7 of shrimp to adult,all can be fed.
