Relative Growth, Sexual Dimorphism and Morphological Sexual Maturity of the Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rude (Heller, 1862) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Macrobrachium rude is an autochthonous prawn species of Bangladesh, with a wide distribution across southern Asia and parts of eastern Africa. This study aims to analyse the relative growth of morphometric characters of this species in order to evaluate the sexual dimorphism and to estimate the onset of morphological sexual maturity.

Amazon river prawn larvae incorporate astaxanthin in response to dietary supplementation with Bixa orellana

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract This study evaluated the effects of dietary bixin, a carotenoid from Bixa orellana, on larval development, post‐larval performance, and carotenoid deposition in Macrobrachium amazonicum under controlled conditions. Larvae were reared in a recirculating aquaculture system with a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) and fed Artemia nauplii and an ...

Effects of ammonia stress in the Amazon river shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Decapoda, Palaemonidae) [PDF]

Aquatic Toxicology, 2016
We evaluate the effects of total ammonia nitrogen-N (TAN) exposure for 72h on (Na(+),K(+))- and V(H(+))-ATPase activities and on their subunit expressions in gills of the diadromous freshwater shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum. Specific (Na(+),K(+))- and V(H(+))-ATPase activities increased roughly 1.5- to 2-fold, respectively, after exposure to 2.0mmolL(-

Integrating curimba culture during the grow‐out phase of tambaqui affects overall productivity, water quality, and fish health

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract The efficiency of feed use in aquaculture may be improved by integrating the culture of extractive species into fed‐species systems. This study assessed the impact of including curimba (Prochilodus lineatus) in tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) production during the grow‐out phase in earthen ponds.
