(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
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 ...
Collection and evaluation of wild and farmed stocks of giant freshwater prawn in Indonesia
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
Giant freshwater prawn is an important commodity that has been cultured successfully in Indonesia. Freshwater prawn farming has been adopted in several areas of West Java, i.e. Ciamis (Tambaksari, Parigi, Rancah and Pasir ...
Giant freshwater prawn culture in Indonesia
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
Indonesia is one of the countries in Asia with rich biodiversity, particularly in terms of the number of endemic freshwater aquatic organisms. Numerous indigenous freshwater fish species are found in Sumatera (30 spp.), ...
Growth of GI Macro II strain in different locations
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
A selective breeding program was conducted to improve freshwater prawns with the use of a synthetic population formed from numerous breeders collected from Tanjung Air (Bekasi), Kalipucang (Ciamis) and Musi (Palembang). ...
Recent developments in the genetic improvement of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium sp.)
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
This publication contains results from the research project “Development of Genetically Improved Strain of Macrobrachium” covered by the Program on the Promotion of Sustainable Aquaculture in the ASEAN Region (previously ...

Extensive studies in the Philippines and in adjacent countries revealed that 528 caridean prawn species are found in this region alone (Chan, 1998). Of all the known species, the giant freshwater prawn is considered the ...
Preliminary growth comparison of three Macrobrachium rosenbergii stocks and their reciprocal crosses in four environments
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
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 ...
Recent updates on the selective breeding program for the genetic improvement of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in Thailand
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
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 ...
Giant freshwater prawn farming in the Philippines
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
Freshwater prawn thrives in inland waters like rivers, lakes, swamps, irrigation canals, estuaries and even in rivers upstream. A recent survey in Luzon Island, Philippines identified 12 species of freshwater prawn found ...
Allozyme-based genetic variation in crossbreds produced from three Thai Macrobrachium rosenbergii stocks
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
Molecular technology at enzyme/protein level known as “allozyme marker” is a widely accepted powerful technique to study genetic variation (Ward and Grewe, 1995) as well as intraspecific population studies (Sodsuk, 1996; ...
