[Growth of Artenia franciscana and A. persimilis (Crustacea, Anostraca) under controlled conditions].
Growth (length) was compared in A. franciscana populations from Utah, United States of America, and Yape, Chile, and A. persimilis (population from Salinas de Hidalgo, Argentina), cultured under controlled conditions (24 degrees C, seawater 35 g/l, fed with Chaetoceros calcitrans). There were significant differences among all stages of A. franciscana (Utah) and A. persimilis, whereas we found significant differences only in two stages of A. persimilis and A. franciscana (Yape); both A. franciscana had similar total lengths in all stages analyzed. Habitat adaptations could explain these results.
