Fish offal based aqua-feed for rearing post-larvae of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

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

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...

Effects of larval stocking density and feeding ratio on larval rearing of giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

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...

Stocking densities for nursery phase culture of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii in cages

Effect of stocking density on growth, biomass increase and survival of postlarvae of Macrobrachium rosenbergii were evaluated in cages fixed inside an earthen pond. In the primary Ž . nursery phase, newly metamorphosed postlarvae PL were stocked for 20 days at densities of 2, y1 Ž . 4, 6, 8 and 10 PLs l . In the secondary phase 60 days , the densities tested were 100, 200, 300, 400, 600 and 800...
