Review "The book represents a synthesis of work on Artemia over the past decade and a half and is a worthy addition to research on this remarkable animal. Covering a delightful variety of current research, I am confident that it will be referenced by scientists working in the field for years to come." (Brian D. Eads, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA in The Journal of Experimental Biology, 207:11) Long Description The objectives of this volume are to present an up-to-date (literature survey up to 2001) account of the biology of Artemia focusing particularly upon the major advances in knowledge and understanding achieved in the last fifteen or so years and emphasising the operational and functional linkage between the biological phenomena described and the ability of this unusual animal to thrive in extreme environments. Artemia is a genus of anostracan crustaceans, popularly known as brine shrimps. These animals are inhabitants of saline environments which are too extreme for the many species which readily predate them if opportunity offers. They are, thus, effectively inhabitants of extreme (hypersaline) habitats, but at the same time are able to tolerate physiologically large changes in salinity, ionic composition, temperature and oxygen tension. Brine shrimp are gener Review Text "The book represents a synthesis of work on Artemia over the past decade and a half and is a worthy addition to research on this remarkable animal.
