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.

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 known as Integrated Rural Aquaculture Program). It specifically includes activities from the inception of the project in 2002 up to 2005 under the Special Five-year Program on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region as well as research updates from 2006 to date. Project activities from 2006 to 2010 have been placed under the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Fisheries Consultative Group (FCG) collaborative mechanism with financial support from the Government of Japan Trust Fund. Dr. Koichi Okuzawa, AQD's Deputy Chief from 2005-2007, was project leader at the time the studies started until early 2007. -

Molecular typing of Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from the Philippines by PCR-based methods
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2005)Aim: The main aim of the present study was to use three PCR-based techniques for the analysis of genetic variability among Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains isolated from the Philippines. Methods and Results: Seventeen strains of V. parahaemolyticus isolated from shrimps (Penaeus monodon) and from the environments where these shrimps are being cultivated were analysed by random amplified polymorphic DNA PCR (RAPD-PCR), enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence PCR (ERIC-PCR) and repetitive extragenic palindromic PCR (REP-PCR). The results of this work have demonstrated genetic variability within the V. parahaemolyticus strains that were isolated from the Philippines. In addition, RAPD, ERIC and REP-PCR are suitable rapid typing methods for V. parahaemolyticus. All three methods have good discriminative ability and can be used as a rapid means of comparing V. parahaemolyticus strains for epidemiological investigation. Based on the results of this study, we could say that REP-PCR is inferior to RAPD and ERIC-PCR owing to the fact that it is less reproducible. Moreover, the REP-PCR analysis yielded a relatively small number of products. This may suggests that the REP sequences may not be widely distributed in the V. parahaemolyticus genome. Conclusions: Genetic variability within V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated in the Philippines has been demonstrated. The presence of ERIC and REP sequences in the genome of this bacterial species was confirmed. Significance and Impact of the Study:The RAPD, ERIC and REP-PCR techniques are useful methods for molecular typing of V. parahaemolyticus strains. To our knowledge this is the first study of this kind carried out on V. parahaemolyticus strains isolated from the Philippines.
