Do you of to use saltwater or freshwater to hatch the shrimp?

You will use saltwater to hatch brine shrimp. You can use any type of non iodized salt ( kosher salt, sea salt, non iodized table salt); Aquarium salt is not required but can be used. The Dish holds approximately 1 liter of water. You will use 25 grams of salt per liter of water ) which is approximately 1 and 2/3 tablespoons depending on the granule size. (1.018 specific gravity if you have a hydrometer)

The instructions say to use 500ml of water, but it seems to need about 600ml to fill to the water line? I'm not missing anything, am I?

no, you're fine, just add water to the lowest fill line. I think the 500ml is an approximate

How does it works? If it dosent uses aeriation?

It does not use any aeriation...but good brine eggs I use San Francisco eggs 85 hatch rate

So the bbs swim to the collection cup which has a tab on it. how r the brine shrimp collected exactly? does the collection cup have a mesh bottom?

It really is amazing in how easy the entire process is. Without any aeration or specific lighting, the BBS navigate the maze and windup in the collection cup, and yes the collection cup does have a mesh bottom. Simply lift it out and rinse the BBS into the tank for feeding. They will continue to hatch and find their way to the cup over the course of several hours, but with diminishing numbers. You will have to wipe everything down before reloading for the next batch, but even that is a very simple task. Enjoy!
