Evaluation of Streptomyces as probiotics against vibriosis and health management of prawn larvae Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Chapter: 10. Effect of probiotics on growth and survival of post larvae of giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Application of bacterins and yeast Acremonium dyosporii to protect the larvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii from vibriosis.

The fresh water prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, has proven potential for use as an aquaculture species (Hanson & Goodwin, 1997; Kurup, 1984). In India alone, culture of this species of prawn in low saline areas requires about 200 million seed per year (Kurup, 1984). In hatcheries poor survival rate has been associated with vibriosis at different stages of the larval cycle. Members of the fami...

Use of Brewer’s Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as Growth Promoter in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) Post Larvae

A feeding trial was conducted for 75 days to study the effects of live brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on growth and body composition in post larvae of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man). Five diets were formulated containing optimum protein level of 35.24±0.04. These experimental feeds were supplemented with 0.0% (control diet), 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% l...

Pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila in giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, cultured in East Malaysia

Aeromonas infections are becoming a major risk factor in commercial aquaculture and it has been reported that a wide variety of fish and shellfish species are susceptible to this infection. In this study, 3 isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila were isolated from giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) cultured in Kuala Pilah Simbilan Nigri in East Malaysia. Conventional and rapid identif...
