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.

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.
