In this paper, it was examined whether old dry eggs kept for nearly 30 years under various conditions are still able to hatch. When dry eggs were put in diluted sea water at around 27C for testing of their viability, they hatched following 12 hours incubation, with no delay nor decrease of hatchability. It is suggested that if dry eggs are kept under suitable conditions (at 4C under low pressure), they can remain alive for long periods of time.}, pages = {28--31}, title = {Hatchability of eggs of Artemia stored for long periods.}, volume = {3}, year = {2002} }
