Stocking density for freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) in biofloc system

Ontogenesis and functional morphology of the digestive system of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

The appropriate feeding regime for larvae and post-larvae of crustacean decapods is essential for successful larval culture. Reports on the development and morphology of the mouthparts and foregut of these crustaceans have aided in the selection of appropriate larval foodstuffs and consequently increased larval survival and growth rate during development. In the present study, the functional mo...

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...

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...

Molecular Analysis of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium olfersii (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) Supports the Existence of a Single Species throughout Its Distribution

Macrobrachium olfersii is an amphidromous freshwater prawn, widespread along the eastern coasts of the Americas. This species shows great morphological modifications during ontogenesis, and several studies have verified the existence of a wide intraspecific variation. Because of this condition, the species is often misidentified, and several synonyms have been documented. To elucidate these asp...
