Second round table discussion on the development of genetically improved strain of Macrobrachium: A collaborative research under the Aquaculture Component of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Special Five-Year Program on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region The Second Round Table Discussion on the Development of Genetically Improved Strain of Macrobrachium was held in the Philippines in September 2004 to evaluate the progress of activities of the collaborative research and as a follow-up to the First Round Table Discussion, which was convened in Indonesia in 2003. During the said Round Table Discussion, the delineation of responsibilities was agreed upon by the participating countries – Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand. One of the recommendations during the First Round Table Discussion was to conduct a yearly evaluation of the project activities to enable the experts to get to know of each other’s activities and come up with a consistent and improved technology on production of good quality freshwater prawn seeds that can be made available for rural aquaculture in the region. This publication contains the progress of the collaborative research presented during the Second Round Table Discussion.

Selective breeding program for genetic improvement of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in Thailand. Uraiwan, Supattra Uraiwan; Sodsuk, Panom K. Although the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) has been domesticated in Thailand for over decades, appropriate selective breeding program has yet to be achieved. Good quality seeds for the Machrobrachium aquaculture industry is therefore not regularly produced. One of the selective breeding programs on improving growth performance of the domesticated strain have been carried out at the Aquatic Animal Genetics Research and Development Institute (AAGRDI), Department of Fisheries of Thailand. AAGRDI has now developed improved and domesticated stock of Macrobrachium rosenbergii for two generations. Meanwhile, domesticated stocks from private hatcheries have also been acquired. There is, therefore, the 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 program. Macrobrachium wild stock has been domesticated under hatchery conditions at the AAGRDI for one generation. Generally, a good base population for genetic improvement program requires high genetic variation as well as an ideally suitable stock that can be well adapted for each of different local environments. Therefore, all proper crosses of these three stocks need to be cultured in different areas of the country and then evaluated on both performance and genetic variation before selective breeding program takes place.
