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