Macrobrachium culture industry in Thailand Uraiwan, Supattra; Sodsuk, Panom There are numerous freshwater prawns classified under the genus Macrobrachium which is generally categorized under the Family Palaemonidae Rafinesque, 1815, sub-family Palaemoninae Rafinesque, 1815. In Thailand, 19 Macrobrachium species that thrive in either freshwater or brackishwater, have been found and identified. Of the nineteen species, below are the five species identified as the most economically important species for Thailand: Macrobrachium dienbienphuense, Macrobrachium niphanae, Macrobrachium lanchesteri, Macrobrachium sintangense, and Macrobrachium rosenbergii dacqueti.

Genetic characterization of GI Macro and freshwater prawns from Makassar-Sulawesi, Pangkalanbun-Kalimantan, Jambi-Sumatera, Sukabumi-Java using mtDNA CO-I markers Nugroho, Estu; Mulyasari; Kristanto, Anang Hari; Ali, Fauzan; Gunawan The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is a widely distributed indigenous species in Indonesia. The giant freshwater prawn from Pangkalanbun-Kalimantan has a big head, long claws and is yellow-green in color. On the other hand, those from Kuala Tungkal-Jambi has a small head, short claws and is gold in color (Sabar and Ali, 2001). The giant freshwater prawn is an important commodity that has been successfully fanned in Indonesia. It has been produced in several areas in West Java, i.e. Ciamis (Tambaksari, Parigi, Rancah and Pasir Nagara) and Tasikmalaya. Some commercial hatcheries (a local government hatchery, and seven private hatcheries) are found in Jogjakarta in East Java, freshwater prawns are cultured in brackishwater ponds. Freshwater prawn culture has also spread to some areas in the island of Bali, e.g. Gianyar, Klungkung, Buleleng and Tabanan, and in Riau, South Sulawesi and South Sumatera. Several natural populations of freshwater prawns are unique to Indonesia. To date, about 19 species are found in almost all of the islands in the archipelago (Holthuis, 1980). However, this potential genetic resource has not yet been fully used in freshwater aquaculture. Moreover, inspite the fact that the freshwater prawn culture technology has been developed and adopted in Indonesia, some problems are still plaguing the industry. To solve the problems of poor growth rate, disease susceptibility and small meat yield or edible portion, the Research Institute for Freshwater Aquaculture (formerly RIFF) started numerous research programs since 1996 to improve growth rate and the size of the edible portion of cultured prawns. The GI Macro, a selected strain of the giant freshwater prawn was developed by RIFA and has been distributed to farmers in Java. Varying results were obtained from growth trials conducted in different locations, hence another phase of selection is necessary to construct a wider and more improved base population using additional wild stocks. An assessment of the genetic background of the wild stocks is an important pre-requisite before the new selection program is initiated. Genetic variation is an important parameter to consider to enable the evaluation of individual fitness of the stock in the short term and their survival in the long term (Ferguson et al., 1995). In this study, genetic variation of giant freshwater prawns collected from Sulawesi, Kalimantan, Sumatera and Java were analyzed using molecular markers.

Preliminary growth comparison of three Macrobrachium rosenbergii stocks and their reciprocal crosses in four environments Uraiwan, Supattra; Sodsuk, Panom K.; Lelapattara, Wattana; Rungtongbaisuree, Somsark; Leesanga, Sanga; Sakontanakit, Tanan; Rattanatriwong, Wisanuporn; Komanpririn, Kridsanupan; Buddama, Sriprapa Three stocks of Macrobrachium rosenbergii namely, “AAGRDI” (Aquatic Animal Genetic Research and Development Institute), “FARM” (Petchaburi Farm) and “WILD” stocks were used for the selective breeding program. Generally, a good base population for genetic improvement should have high genetic variability and the stock should have traits that make them adaptable in each local environment. Therefore, all possible crosses of these three stocks should be evaluated on both performance traits and genetic diversity before selective breeding takes place. Hence, the proposed genetic improvement program was divided into two parts: (1) evaluation of growth performance of the three stocks and their reciprocal crosses in four environments; and (2) the establishment of improved economic traits in the best cross using a suitable selection procedure. The four environments used were: 20 m2 concrete pond located at the Aquatic Genetic Research and Development Research Center (AAGRDI), Pathumtani Province; and in 5 x 5 x 1.5 m2 net cages at the three Fisheries Test and Research Centers in Chumphon, Buriram and Uttaradit Provinces. The “AAGRDI” stock was the M. rosenbergii selected for improved growth rate for two generations in the AAGRDI environment (Uraiwan et al., 2003). The “FARM” stock originally came from a private hatchery in Petchaburi Province in 2002, which was also reared at the AAGRDI for one generation. The “WILD” stock was collected from the river in Chantaburi Province in 2002. This “WILD” stock has been domesticated under hatchery conditions at the AAGRDI for one generation. This experiment deals with the growth performance comparison and the genetic variations of these stocks conducted simultaneously by Sodsuk et al. (2005).

Recent updates on the selective breeding program for the genetic improvement of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in Thailand Uraiwan, Supattra; Sodsuk, Panom K.; Rungtongbaisuree, Somsark; Rattanatriwong, Wisanuporn; Leesanga, Sanga Although the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) has been domesticated in Thailand for decades, a suitable selective breeding program has yet to be applied. Good quality seeds for the Macrobrachium industry are therefore not regularly produced. One of the selective breeding programs on the improvement of growth performance of the domesticated strain has been carried out at the Aquatic Animal Genetics Research and Development Institute (AAGRDI), Department of Fisheries of Thailand. AAGRDI has developed improved and domesticated stock of Macrobrachium rosenbergii for two generations. Meanwhile, domesticated stocks from private hatcheries have also been acquired. There is therefore a need to develop another improved stock of this species basically from these two domesticated stocks together with a wild stock in order to improve the genetic diversity of the base population for further selective breeding.
