The objective of this research was to know the optimum salinity changes to improve quantity and quality of cyst produced by Artemia. This experiment used completely randomized factorial design. Factor a was salinities changes at day-9 (A) and day-15 (B) of culture. Factor b consisted of four salinity increasing treatments, which were I (100, 100, 100, 140 ppt); II (100, 100, 140, 140 ppt); III (100, 140, 140, 140 ppt) and IV (100, 110, 125, 140 ppt). The highest fecundity was obtained by B.I treatment. The highest quantity of the cysts was produced by A.III treatment. Treatment of A.I produced cysts with the highest protein content. These results showed that the high quality and quantity of cysts was obtained when salinity increase started at day-9 of culture.
