From lecithotrophy to planktotrophy: ontogeny of larval feeding in the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum [PDF]
Aquatic Biology, 2009 During downstream transport from rivers to estuaries, early larval stages of the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller 1862) are likely exposed to planktonic food limita- tion. In the laboratory, we studied the effects of presence or absence of food on larval survival, moult- ing and biomass (dry mass, and content of carbon, hydrogen and ...

Effects of environmental light colors on the larviculture of the Amazon River prawn Macrobrachium amazonicum [PDF]
Aquaculture International, 2019 This study aimed to investigate the effects of red, yellow, green, violet, blue, and white light in Macrobrachium amazonicum larviculture. The trials were composed of six treatments (i.e., colors red, yellow, green, blue, violet, and white light in tanks) with four replicates each.

Effects of Ambient Nitrite on Amazon River Prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, larvae
Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, 2014 AbstractThe effects of nitrite concentration on larval development of Amazon river prawn, Macrobrachium amazonicum, were studied in laboratory. In Experiment 1, larvae were reared in 600‐mL glass beakers filled with 300‐mL water with nitrite concentration of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6 mg/L NO2‐N.

Digestive proteases from wild and farmed male morphotypes of the Amazon river prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2014 The aim of this study was to characterize digestive proteases from wild and farmed morphotypes in males of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862). The hepatopancreas of wild and earthen pond reared specimens were collected and homogenized. Unspecific activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin and leucine aminopeptidase were determined using specific ...
