The shell of Artemia resting egg, which is a delicate multilayered envelope surrounding the inside diapause embryo, plays an important role in the survival strategy of Artemia. To date, the ultrastructure of resting eggshell has been studied for only handful populations, and knowledge about the diversity of shell structure is still limited. In this paper, resting eggs from 13 Artemia populations were studied by transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the basic configuration of resting eggshell is quite conservative, but variations are not uncommon in the fine ultrastructure of each main layer of the shell (e.g., the shape and distribution of the radially oriented pores in the cortical layer; the size, number and arrangement of chambers in the alveolar layer; and the development state of outer cuticular membrane [OCM]). The ultrastructural variation of eggshell seems not to be linked with species and reproductive mode of Artemia. Resting eggs from very high habitats (4300+ m above sea level [a.s.l.]) on Qinghai–Tibet Plateau and certain tropical salterns have a hypoplastic OCM, which may be related to the adaptation to habitat conditions such as low oxygen concentration. Research Highlights: Comparative study on resting eggs from 13 Artemia populations reveals high diversity in the fine structure of eggshell.Resting eggs from very high (4300+ m a.s.l.) habitats commonly have a hypoplastic OCM.
