De novo assembly of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium carcinus brain transcriptome for identification of potential targets for antibody development. [PDF]
Crustaceans are major constituents of aquatic ecosystems and, as such, changes in their behavior and the structure and function of their bodies can serve as indicators of alterations in their immediate environment, such as those associated with climate change and anthropogenic contamination.

Larviculture of the painted river prawn Macrobrachium carcinus in different culture systems
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate different hatchery systems used for the larviculture of the Macrobrachium carcinus based on survival, larval development and production of post-larvae. The experimental culture was carried out in three phases designated as Phase I (Zoea VI to VIII – ZVI – VIII), Phase II (Zoea VIII to X – ZVIII – X)

Histology of the hepatopancreas and anterior intestine in the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium carcinus (Crustacea, Decapoda) [PDF]
Abstract The purpose of this study was to describe the structure of the midgut (hepatopancreas and intestine) in the endemic species, Macrobrachium carcinus. Thirty specimens were collected, and the midgut was fixed in Bouin's solution for histological and histochemical analyzes by light microscopy. The hepatopancreas consists of two lobes that connect

Lethal salinity and survival for Macrobrachium carcinus larvae subjected to osmotic stress
Abstract The present study aimed to establish an adequate salinity range for the larviculture of the Macrobrachium carcinus by determining the lethal salinity (LS50) and survival of the larvae subjected to osmotic stress tests. Newly hatched larvae were acclimated at the salinities of 16 and 20 and reared for 20–22 days until reaching Zoea stage VI ...

FOOD ACCEPTANCE IN DIFFERENT LARVAL STAGES OF Macrobrachium carcinus
Food acceptance in different larval stages of Macrobrachium carcinus was evaluated by investigating the stage at which the ingestion of inert moist diet food begins and by the incidence of Artemia nauplii and inert moist diet in the digestive tract throughout development. Two experiments were carried out: in the first study, the acceptance of the inert
