Artemia are exposed to varying intensities of light

Based on the fact that Artemia are sensitive to light the current experiment was conducted to observe the behavior when Artemia are exposed to varying intensities of light, believing that the fish would prefer darker portions of a basin. However, our experimental data failed to reject the null hypothesis that the species do not have a preference for light, although observable, but not statistically significant specificity for the shaded area was observed in the first trial. In the first trial, the color of the basin was white, which created a doubt that probably the light which was being delivered form a 100W bulb placed 16 cm away was being scattered within the basin evenly and merely covering the lid for semi covered and blocked area was not preventing its scattering within the basin. Accordingly a darker basin was used in the subsequent trials with the ambient room light as the source of light instead of the bulb. However, this alternative arrangement failed to provide the expected result altogether
