C/N-controlled periphyton-based freshwater prawn farming system: a sustainable approach to increase pond productivity [PDF]

, 2012
Three technologies showed to improve productivity and sustainability of pond production: (1) C/N ratio control, (2) providing substrates for periphyton development, and (3) fish driven re-suspension.

Predicting the impacts of freshwater-flow alterations on prawn (Penaeus merguiensis) catches

, 2019
Modification of freshwater flow regimes can impact estuarine ecosystems at the receiving end of these flows. This is particularly true in tropical areas, such as the wet-dry tropics, where major freshwater flows in the wet season may result in prolonged ...

Effect of Selection for High Growth on Resilience of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resilience is the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by disturbances or to rapidly return to its pre‐disturbance state. To the best of our knowledge, no previous study has investigated resilience in the giant freshwater prawn (GFP, Macrobrachium rosenbergii).

Impact of fishmeal replacement with Arthrospira platensis on growth performance, body composition and digestive enzyme activities of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Aquaculture Reports, 2016
In this study, we assessed the suitable level of replacement of fishmeal with a blue green microalga, Arthrospira platensis in feed for the post larvae (PL) of the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii by evaluating the growth performance, prawn ...

Giant freshwater prawn farming in the Philippines [PDF]

, 2007
Freshwater prawn thrives in inland waters like rivers, lakes, swamps, irrigation canals, estuaries and even in rivers upstream. A recent survey in Luzon Island, Philippines identified 12 species of freshwater prawn found in the island (Agasen ...

Ecological energetics of an imperilled fish: Physiological metrics, experimental protocols and implications for population recovery

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Insights about fish physiology can be useful for population management, but collecting ecologically relevant data can be challenging, especially for imperilled and sensitive species. With the goal of identifying ecologically relevant physiological metrics, we conducted a range of experiments to characterize the metabolism, food consumption ...

The habitat use of ariid catfishes in coral reefs in northeastern Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ariidae species occur across a wide range of habitats from freshwater to fully marine environments and are typically associated with soft‐bottom substrates. However, they are sometimes associated with hard‐bottom substrates such as coral reefs, but such association is poorly documented.

Biofloc culture system shapes the structure and function of environmental and intestinal bacterial communities in the river prawn Cryphiops caementarius

Aquaculture Reports
Biofloc technology (BFT) has emerged as a sustainable method for prawn cultivation, particularly for regions with limited freshwater resources. The freshwater prawn Cryphiops caementarius exhibit improved survival and growth rates when cultivated using ...
