Fecundity and fertility of Macrobrachium amazonicum (Crustacea, Palaemonidae) [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004
In Brazil, studies with native freshwater prawn species were discontinued due to great importance of Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Therefore, it is necessary to continue investigations about our species, in order to develop technology adequate to our reality and in a future allow prawn farmers to culture other species.

Toxicity of cryoprotectants agents in freshwater prawn embryos of Macrobrachium amazonicum

Zygote, 2014
SummaryThe process of cooling and cryopreservation of prawn embryos is a viable alternative for a continuous supply of larvae for freshwater prawn farming ponds. However, studies involving the application of those techniques as well as on toxicity of cryoprotectants in freshwater prawn embryos are scarce.
