Vitellogenesis during the ovarian development in freshwater female prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man)

چکیده
In the present investigation, vitellogenesis during ovarian development in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii was assessed. Ovarian development was classified into five stages based on size, colour and texture of ovary. Interestingly, histological results clearly indicate that the oocyte development gradually increased from stages I to V based on the yolk material accumulation. Besides, the biochemical changes associated with ovarian development was also analyzed. On the other hand, vitellogenin (Vg) and vitellin (Vt) content during ovarian development in female prawn was quantified as a measure of reproductive activity.

Impact of TBT on the vitellogenesis and sex hormones in freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)
BACKGROUND Tributyltin (TBT) is a ubiquitous persistent xenobiotic that can be found in freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystem. TBT is a strong endocrine disrupting compound (EDC) that can cause toxic threat to aquatic organisms. Imposex, sexual deformities and endocrine dysfunctions are the causes of TBT to most of the aquatic organisms. Effect of TBT on the vitellogenesis and sex hormonal...

A study was conducted to appraise the effect of different stocking densities on three male morphotypes named blue claw (BC), orange claw (OC) and small male (SM) at harvest in all-male culture and to assess the growth performance of BC, OC and SM in each isolated culture. Trials involving three stocking densities of all-male prawn viz., 20, 30 and 40 juvenile m-2 were carried out in replicate...
متن کاملEffects of bilateral eyestalk ablation on molting and ovarian development in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii
In the present study, the effects of bilateral eyestalk ablation on molt interval, ovarian development, and hemolymph levels of ecdysteroid and vitellogenin were investigated in the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii in order to examine the roles of the eyestalk hormones. In destalked males and females, ecdysteroid levels increased rapidly, and molt intervals were significantly s...
متن کاملStarvation Promotes Autophagy-Associated Maturation of the Ovary in the Giant Freshwater Prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii
Limitation of food availability (starvation) is known to influence the reproductive ability of animals. Autophagy is a lysosomal driven degradation process that protects the cell under metabolic stress conditions, such as during nutrient shortage. Whether, and how starvation-induced autophagy impacts on the maturation and function of reproductive organs in animals are still open questions. In t...
