“…Also, males attain a smaller body size than females: 12 and 32 mm CL, two and 12 months after larval settlement, respectively. Previous studies have reported rapid growth rates in other species of Macrobrachium (Kanaujia et al 1997;Romero and Silva 2008;Alhassan and Armah 2011) (see review in Table 4 (1970) who reported an initial body size of 6.5 mm total body length (TL) and 27 mm TL for juveniles 40 days and two months after metamorphosis, respectively (data obtained from laboratoryreared specimens after larval development). Using previously published equations that relate CL to TL (CL ¼ 0.533 Â TL and CL ¼ 0.5043 Â TL in males and females, respectively: Albertoni et al 2002), our results fit well with those previously reported by Choudhury (1970) for males but not for females.…”

Abstract. Macrobrachium acanthurus inhabits estuaries and rivers in the western Atlantic. It is not clear whether females migrate towards estuaries to hatch larvae, as reported for other congeneric shrimps. We tested whether females of M. acanthurus exhibit reproductive migrations. The population dynamics of this shrimp was studied in the Ribeira de Iguape River, Brazil. Four sites that differ in position with respect to the coast were sampled monthly during 2007. In M. acanthurus, reproduction was seasonal and reproductive intensity did not vary among study sites. Females brooding early and late embryos were found at all study sites during the reproductive season. No disappearance of reproductive females was observed at the study site located furthest away (,150 km) from the coast. Thus, reproductive females of M. acanthurus do not exhibit reproductive migrations towards estuaries to hatch larvae. Maturity in females was reached at smaller body sizes during the austral summer and spring compared with winter and autumn. Growth rate and body size was sex-specific; males grew slower but attained larger average and final body sizes than females. This information needs to be considered in assessing stocks and establishing sustainable management plans for M. acanthurus in Brazil.

“…3a and b), Uno and Sao (1969) and Kanaujia (2003) observed that freshly spawned eggs of M. malcolmsonii are yellow in colour, while they are yellow green in M. gangeticum, orange yellow in M. rosenbergii and green in Macrobrachium lamarrei and M. lamarrei lamarrei. Rao (1986), Kanaujia (1999), Mohapatra (2001), Okumura and Aida (2001) and Tanboonteck, Damrongphol and Poolsanguan (2006) studied the maturity stages of the ovary in M. malcolmsonii and M. rosenbergii, and reported four stages of the ovarian development based on the colour and size of the ovary in relation to carapace cavity and diameter of the ova. Most females (55-70%) were either with fully matured gonads or under berried condition.…”

The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is one of the most common decapod species, and now getting more attention from the aquaculturists world wide due to its high market demand. It is commercially important because of its size as well as its eating flesh qualities. The breeding behaviour, reproduction and hatching of this species were observed for about 8 months during 2009. Juveniles (0.55 ± 0.177 g total weight and 2.7 ± 0.12 cm, total length) were reared in rounded fibre glass tanks (1.3 m, diameter). Premating moult occurs in prawns once the ovaries ripen in their carapace cavity so as to transform the prawn into berried stage. Recorded incubation period ranged from 18 to 24 days. The number of eggs ranged from 2050 to 150 500 and the fecundity ranged from 435.2 to 3849.1 eggs. Number of hatched larvae ranged from 1825 to 123 410 larvae for females of 4.71 to 39.1 g respectively. The number of eggs carried by female prawn was directly proportional to its body weight (no. of eggs = 3441.3 wt. of female -32 292, r 2 = 0.819). (fecundity = 82.066 wt. of female À 235.04, r 2 = 0.7779; fecundity = 317.86 length of female À 2651, r 2 = 0.833). Hatching rate ranged from 65% to 91%, and there was a correlation between number of hatched larvae and size of female parent (no. of larvae = 10 369 length of female -102 965, r 2 = 0.8159; no. of larvae = 2792.9 wt. of female -26 268, r 2 = 0.829). This study can greatly help in the management strategies of prawn hatcheries and improve its hatching technology.

Macrobrachium rosenbergii is the most important cultured freshwater prawn in the world and it is now farmed on a large scale in many countries. Generally, freshwater prawn is considered to be tolerant to diseases but a disease of viral origin is responsible for severe mortalities in larval, post-larval and juvenile stages of prawn. This viral infection namely white tail disease (WTD) was reported in the island of Guadeloupe in 1995 and later in Martinique (FrenchWest Indies) in Taiwan, the People's Republic of China, India, Thailand, Australia and Malaysia. Two viruses, Macrobrachium rosenbergii nodavirus (MrNV) and extra small virus-like particle (XSV) have been identified as causative agents of WTD. MrNV is a small icosahedral non-enveloped particle, 26-27 nm in diameter, identified in the cytoplasm of connective cells. XSV is also an icosahedral virus and 15 nm in diameter. Clinical signs observed in the infected animals include lethargy, opaqueness of the abdominal muscle, degeneration of the telson and uropods, and up to 100 % within 4 days. The available diagnostic methods to detect WTD include RT-PCR, dot-blot hybridization, in situ hybridization and ELISA. In experimental infection, these viruses caused 100 % mortality in post-larvae but failed to cause mortality in adult prawns. The reported hosts for these viruses include marine shrimp, Artemia and aquatic insects. Experiments were carried out to determine the possibility of vertical transmission of MrNV and XSV in M. rosenbergii. The results indicate that WTD may be transferred from infected brooders to their offspring during spawning. Replication of MrNV and XSV was investigated in apparently healthy C6/36 Aedes albopictus and SSN-1 cell lines. The results revealed that C6/36 and SSN-1cells were susceptible to these viruses. No work has been carried out on control and prevention of WTD and dsRNA against protein B2 produced RNAi that was able to functionally prevent and reduce mortality in WTD-infected redclaw crayfish.
