Abstract
The brine shrimp Artemia is playing an important role in aquaculture. The demand for large quantities of high quality Artemia biomass and cyst is increasing exponentially. In the present study marine yeast was taken as a good probiotic which improves the growth of Artemia and the coconut water was used as a medium for the culture of marine yeast Debaryomyces hansenni. After 48 hours yeast were harvested and mixed with rice bran, then fed to Artemia at different concentrations. The marine yeast cultured in coconut water medium supported growth, survival and reproduction of Artemia.
