The effects of Cobalt and Nickel on LC5024h and protein of Artemiaurmiana was investigated In 2010. Nauplii were reared for 6 days at different concentrations of Nickel and Cobalt. They fed with Chlorella and yeast. The condition of culture was temperature of 20-28c , salinity of 28 ppt, and photoperiod 12:12(light: dark) cycle. Naplii were harvested after 6 days experiment for protein extraction. Lowrymethodwas used forproteinassay. Protein level in the vicinity of different Cobalt and Nickel concentrations showed significant differences.The most amount of the protein in the vicinity of Cobalt was 3/13 percent that belonged to 41 mg.l-1. In the vicinity of nickel, it was 14/90 percent and belonged to 167 mg.l-1. The level of LC5024h for Artemia was estimated 403/7 mg.l-1in the vicinity of Cobalt and 384 mg.l-1in the vicinity of nickel.
