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 ...
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; ...
Genetic variation in selected Thai M. rosenbergii crossbreds reared in specific environments
(Aquaculture Department, Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center, 2007)
AAGRDI has developed a domesticated and genetically improved stock of Macrobrachium rosenbergii for two generations. A wild stock has also been domesticated at the AAGRDI hatchery for one generation. Meanwhile, domesticated ...
