Artemia cyst production using brine of different salinities was studied. Brine of different salinities viz., 120, 140, 160 and 180‰ were used as culture medium for Artemia cyst production. Cysts production increased with increasing salinity up to 160‰, but declined in 180‰ salinity. About 32.34 and 40.60 per cent higher production of cysts was observed in 140 and 160‰ salinity rearing tanks respectively over 120‰, while 16.40% less production was observed in 180‰ rearing medium than 120‰. Significantly higher (p>0.05) cyst production of Artemia franciscana was observed in the rearing medium of 160‰ salinity.
