Abstract
Brine shrimps Artemia nauplii and decapsulated cysts have remained the first choice
for the first feeding of fishlarvae, under intensive culture. However, compared with
freshly hatched nauplii, the nutritional value of on-grown and adult Artemia is much
exceptional. The increasing cost of Artemia is a constraint to fish farming among
resource poor farmers particularly in the developing world, which has necessitated the
need for alternative feeds. It has been shown that most of the feed used in the process
of on-grown Artemia is costly and difficult to prepare. The use of jackfruit seed, a
common agriculture waste product is a potential alternative to substitute the use
microalgae Spirulina in the biomass production of Artemia
