The video provides a concise, user-friendly reference for hatchery operators on the disinfection of Artemia cysts prior to incubation. It presents a practical step-by-step procedure covering cyst selection, hydration, disinfection using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), washing and deactivation of residual chlorine, and immediate application of treated cysts. It also highlights key safety precautions, required materials, and recommended operational conditions to ensure effective disinfection while maintaining cyst quality and minimizing risks to operators and the environment. The guidance aims to support improved hatchery biosecurity and more reliable Artemia production. The video is based on the fact sheet Artemia hatchery practices – Cyst disinfection, developed as part of a series of practical, on-farm hatchery management guides building on the FAO Artemia Manual.
