Physico-chemical parameters are very important factors to determine the characteristics of Artemia populations in different<br />

locations. So, widely competitive studies were being done about characterization of Artemia in diverse geographical habitats.<br />

In resent study, percentages of fatty acids of A. urmiana had been analyzed in separated stations from the Urmia Lake. With<br />

regard to results, percentages of fatty acids have variation between studied stations. By the way, Pca analyses shows that there<br />

is no geographical arrangement between disserted sites. This obtained can be led us that ecological parameters are main factors<br />

to conclude Artemia characteristics and cause ecological speciation in this genus.<br />
