Artemia persimilis

Artemia est un genre de petits Crustacés, le seul de la famille des Artemiidae. On les appelle couramment artémies ou artémias. Les artémias vivent dans les lacs salés, les lagunes et les marais salants.

The San Francisco brine shrimp (Artemia franciscana) is a species of brine shrimp endemic to the Americas but now widely introduced throughout the tropics and temperate zones worldwide. The species exhibits reproductive plasticity, using two different strategies of reproduction: oviparity (laying eggs which develop and hatch outside the body), or ovoviviparity (eggs develop and hatch inside the mother's body but is nourished by the yolk rather than placenta). They produce offspring through sexual reproduction, although their success can depend on chemical signaling and temperature.
