Abstract
    Simple to construct and inexpensive high density culturing techniques are described for culturing 2000 Artemia nauplii in 1-1 bottles; 25,000 in 1-1 bottles and 50,000 in 30-1 plastic sheet cylinders. Frozen Dunaliella or dried Scenedesmus cells are used as food. Growth results of these high density cultures are comparable with the best growth data reported in literature. The latter however refer to low-density experiments.
