Abstract
Diffusional permeabilities and drinking rates of 24 h-old Artemia sp. metanauplii incubated at 20 °C were studied at five temperatures: 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 °C over a period of 6 h. Departures from the incubation temperature resulted in changes in both permeability and drinking rates which both reached their highest values at 35 °C. Metanaupliar permeability and drinking were more elevated than previously reported for adults.
