USO DE LA LEVADURA TORULA (TORULOPSIS UTILIS) EN LA OBTENCION DE BIOMASA DE ARTEMIA.

Abstract

Studies were carried out to determine the possibilities of use torula yeast (Torulopsis
utilis), as a source of feed in intensive cultured Artemia. Maximum biomass yields of 5.14 g/l and
8.43 mm of average total length were obtained for the treatment with the best results. Yeast
concentration of 1 g/l/day in the initial 6 days period, can be considered adequate for Artemia
growth while the concentration of 1 g/l/day is insufficient to obtain a satisfactory growth. The
growth equations in the described culture conditions were as follow: treatment 1 g/l/day, L= -0.5214
+ 0.4837 T; treatment 3 g/l/day, L = -1.1707 + 0.738 T.
