METHOD OF PREPARING CYSTS OF ARTEMIA (ARTEMIA SALINA) FOR INCUBATION

摘要

FIELD: plant growing. SUBSTANCE: when activating cysts of artemia in a specified medium, hydrogen ions are added to cysts and medium is enriched with hydroxide ions. The former operation is accomplished by activation of cysts in the medium containing acetic acid with pH 3 or butyric acid with pH 3.5 holding cysts in these media for 2-10 or 2-5 min, respectively. Enrichment with hydroxide ions is accomplished by using alkalified hyperosmotic solution (sodium chloride solution alkalified with sodium hydroxide), in which cysts are held for 40 to 60 min. EFFECT: increased germination of cysts with no exhaustion of their energetic and plastic resources and also enabled storage of cysts with elevated germination. 4 cl, 2
