A method to hatch Artemia nauplii starting from an amount of Artemia cysts, including diapauzing cysts, by incubating the cysts in a hatching medium under conditions allowing at least a portion of the cysts to hatch and to release free swimming nauplii within a predetermined incubation period, in which method the cysts are brought in contact with a compound comprising at least one -(OH)C=C(OH)- structure, to break diapause in at least a number of said diapauzing cysts in order to enable them to produce free swimming nauplii within said predetermined incubation period thereby increasing the hatching percentage of the incubated cysts from X % of the total number of full cysts when the cysts are not brought in contact with said compound, to a hatching percentage higher than X % when they are brought in contact with said compound. An advantage of bringing compounds comprising at least one -(OH)C=C(OH)- structure, in contact with diapauzing cysts is that the range of optimal concentrations of said compound is very broad, so that lethal effects on Artemia will not often occur, even when double or triple amounts of the optimal concentration is applied.
一种孵化蒿甲虫稚虫的方法,从一定量的蒿甲虫包囊(包括畸形包囊)开始,在孵化
培养基中孵化包囊,孵化条件是允许至少一部分包囊在预定的孵化期内孵化并释放出自由游动的稚虫,在该方法中,使包囊与包含至少一个-(OH)C=C(OH)-结构的化合物接触、打破至少一些所述减数分裂包囊的休眠状态,以使它们在所述预定孵化期内产生自由游动的稚虫,从而提高孵化包囊的孵化率,从不曾与所述化合物接触时占完整包囊总数的 X%,提高到与所述化合物接触时孵化率高于 X%。将包含至少一个-(OH)C=C(OH)-结构的化合物与二包囊接触的一个优点是,所述化合物的最佳浓度范围非常宽,因此,即使使用两倍或三倍的最佳浓度,也不会经常出现对蒿类动物的致命影响。
