This webinar will focus on artemia, a small brine shrimp found naturally in hypersaline ecosystems – salt lakes, salt pans and salt works across the world. Presenters will explain artemia’s unique role in the aquatic ecosystem and explore ways for future investment opportunities.

The shrimp has rare biological characteristics that enable it to thrive in saline environments under climate change stress, and special nutritional properties that have made it an essential product for fish and shrimp hatchery production across the world, contributing directly to the sustainable production of over 10 million tons of high-value aquaculture products. Artemia is also emerging as a unique product with applications beyond aquaculture hatcheries, and its potential in animal and human food production in climate-stressed ecosystems.
