    Notes: Abstract A new fairy shrimp,Branchinecta belki n.sp., endemic to the south of Coahuila state is described and figured. A total of nine species of phyllopods, including the new species, occur in ponds in the type area. The laboratory hybridization ofB. belki andB. packardi through ‘no-choice’ mating tests in reciprocal crosses is discussed. A mixture of characteristics of parental species is present in male F1 and F2 hybrids. This may provide a biological tool, or ‘search image’ (sensu Wiman, 1979a), for detecting male hybrids, should such exist, between theBranchinecta species of this study in nature. In addition to the reported interspecific hybridizations inStreptocephalus (Wiman, 1979a & 1979b) and inArtemia (Bowenet al., 1985) under laboratory conditions, the new evidence inBranchinecta suggests that absence of efficient premating mechanisms may be common in Anostraca.

    Laboratory culture of fairy shirmps using baker's yeast as basic food in a flow-through system (1995)

    Notes: Abstract We designed and standardized a culture method for freshwater anostracans using diets free of live algae.Thamnocephalus platyurus andBranchinecta lindahli were used as test organisms. We used baker's yeast as basic food and added inert particles (clay or amorphic silicium dioxide) to improve the digestion of the yeast. A flow-through culture system was used, according to a fixed feeding schedule, to supply separately, culture medium (tap water), food, and inert particle suspensions. Three variants with baker's yeast as basic, food were compared for survival, growth, and reproduction. A diet of solely baker's yeast (diet 1) or baker's yeast supplemented with vegetal oil containing ß-carotene (diet 2) was unsuitable for reproduction ofT. platyurus. Cyst production was only achieved when diet 2 was supplemented with fish oil andSpirulina powder (diet 3). This suggests that not only a digestibility problem, but also nutritional deficiencies are present in baker's yeast.
