Artemia Biomass Production Training Course 2025

The Artemia Biomass Production Training Course was successfully held from 6th to 8th April 2025, hosted by the Trans Artemia Research Group and Institute of Climate Adaptation and Marine Biotechnology (ICAMB), Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). A total of five participants took part in this intensive hands-on program.

This specialized training aimed to build technical capacity in Artemia biomass production, a vital component in aquaculture and marine biotechnology. The course blended both theory and practice, offering participants comprehensive exposure to every stage of Artemia cultivation.

Featured Artemia Experts:

• Emeritus Prof. Dr. Patrick Sorgeloos
  Ghent University, Belgium

• Prof. Dr. Yeong Yik Sung
  Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT), Malaysia

Both experts shared valuable insights and global best practices in Artemia cultivation, enriching the learning experience with real-world applications and research-driven strategies.

Key Training Modules Included:

• Hatching equipment setup and usage

• Hatching, harvesting, and preservation procedures

• Enrichment and decapsulation techniques

• Feed calculation and preparation using yeast/microbes

• Observation of gut content, growth, and survival

• Harvest and biomass storage methods

This course underscores UMT’s ongoing commitment to advancing sustainable marine biotechnology through high-impact training and international collaboration. Participants left with improved technical skills and a deeper understanding of Artemia-based aquaculture systems—knowledge that could be invaluable for those looking to Bachelorarbeit schreiben in this field.
