    Artemia, also known as brine shrimp, are important organisms in the aquaculture industry due to their ability to adapt to high salinity environments and high nutritional value, making them suitable live food for various aquatic species. Our research is focused on two distinct species of Artemia franciscana and Artemia parthenogenetica from various geographical regions. Because of the current demand, Artemia is the preferred the choice for small-sized live feed for aquatic larvae. Hence, it is crucial to choose suitable artemia sources that correspond with the dietary requirements of aquatic larvae. The results were significantly differed between the species, suggesting potential for optimizing specific strains tailored to distinct aquaculture applications. The findings revealed notable disparities across the species, suggesting the possibility of enhancing certain strains customized for specific aquaculture purposes. The sizes of cysts and the Instar I stage in Artemia franciscana from Vietnam were 31.7 ± 7.25 μm smaller than those of A. franciscana from United States of America and A. parthenogenetica from China. The gathered statistics provided preliminary criteria for choosing strains that are well-suited size of live feed to certain aquaculture hatcheries.

    The effects of artificial light source and photoperiod on duckweed (Lemna minor) growth and the impact of duckweed on red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) growth in an aquaponic culture are not well understood. This study aimed to investigate: 1) effects of light source and photoperiod on growth of duckweed and water quality, and 2) the effects of feeding red tilapia with different ratios of duckweed: artificial feed. In Phase I, three different artificial light sources (LED white light, T5 fluorescent white light, and LED blue light) were used and then a consecutive experiment was conducted using LED white light with three different photoperiods: 24:0, 16:8, and 12:12 (light:dark). In Phase II, red tilapia were fed with three feeding regimes made up of different percentages (by weight) of duckweed (0%, 5%, and 10%) to artificial pellet feed. Overall, our results suggest that using LED white light with a photoperiod of 16:8 (light:dark) was effective for maximizing duckweed growth in aquaponic culture and consequently resulted in lowest total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and NO<inf>2</inf>-, and that replacing pellet feed with duckweed at 5% or 10% can increase the growth rate of red tilapia.
