Artemia – Rearing the Nauplii

Even if Artemia nauplii have their highest nutritional value directly after the hatching, there are reasons to rear the small crustaceans to become adult Artemia. One is to have real treats for larger fish.

Their rearing is so easy and, as often described, you will have no problem with it.

The Assembly

Take out a small portion of hatched nauplii and put it into a separate container with a large water surface. The large water surface ensures sufficient oxygen intake, otherwise a diaphragm pump with air stone ( JBL PROAIR a50 ) needs to be installed. Ideally use 50 % of the old water for that with 50 % newly prepared saltwater ( JBL ArtemioSal ).

The Care

Using a pen mark the water level after filling to keep the salinity constant. Evaporated water needs to be replaced regularly with osmosis or distilled water to this marking. If these are not available, use tap water.

Feed the growing Artemia several times a day with a special algae food ( JBL ArtemioFluid ). The algae solution needs to be eaten up within a few hours and should only be sparingly fed. Otherwise the water will be heavily polluted, damaging the nauplii.

The animals become sexually mature after 12 days (at 28 °C) or 22 days (at 20 °C) and they can be distinguished as male and female. With a bit of luck you even can observe the mating. However Artemia can also reproduce when there are only females. It then results in the so-called asexual reproduction (parthenogenesis)

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.

JBL GmbH & Co. KG provides this service free of charge, and it is easy to activate or deactivate.
