Effect of Habitat Diversity on Population Development of the Amazon River Prawn

Journal of Shellfish Research, 2016
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine if the Amazon river prawn [Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862)] population structure is affected by habitat heterogeneity. An experiment was conducted in mesocosms to emulate conditions from a natural aquatic environment. Twelve rectangular earthen ponds of ∼100 m2 each were used as mesocosms.

Acute Toxicity of Nitrite to Various Life Stages of the Amazon River Prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, Heller, 1862

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2016
This study determined the effects of nitrite on different life stages of the Amazon river prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum. Prawns of each life stage (postlarvae, juveniles and adults) were stocked in 24 experimental units (n = 10 prawns), under a complete randomized design. Individuals were exposed to nitrite (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 mg L-1).

Feeding habit of the Amazon river prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum larvae

Aquaculture, 2007
Abstract To investigate the feeding habit of Macrobrachium amazonicum , three experiments were carried out assessing the stage at which larvae start exogenous feeding, the acceptance of inert food by different larval stages and the ratio between live and inert diet ingested by larvae at each larval stage.

Patterns of larval growth and chemical composition in the Amazon River prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum

Aquaculture, 2009
The Amazon River prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862), is a target speciesfor regional fisheries in Brazil and a candidate for aquaculture. Under controlled laboratoryconditions (29°C, 10), the larval phase of this species shows variability in the morphology and number of successive stages (mostly 9-10, occasionally 8 to >12).

Stocking densities in cage rearing of Amazon river prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) during nursery phases

Aquaculture, 2010
Abstract Amazon river prawn ( Macrobrachium amazonicum ) is widely distributed along Brazilian rivers, being one of the native species with a major cultivation potential. This study evaluated stocking densities during primary and secondary nursery phases for M.
