Breeding programs in oriental river prawn populations would benefit from a knowledge of heritabilities for growth-related traits to assess their potential genetic improvement. This study reports the results heritability estimation and evaluation epistatic interactions (Macrobrachium nipponense). The showed that estimates (h2) were low medium magnitude, ranging between 0.10 (±0.02) 0.22 (±0.01) ...

The Length-Weight Relationship (LWR) and condition factors (CF) of 180 the oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense collected from southern coasts of the Caspian Sea from May through September 2012 were studied. Shrimp samples were taken and immediately transferred to the laboratory of fish biology at University of Guilan for further analyses. Length, weight and other ext...

Salinity is an ecological factor affecting the physiology, survival, and distribution of crustaceans. Additionally, salinity fluctuation detrimentally affects composition biological process As a significant commercial aquaculture species in China, Japan, Southeast Asian countries, oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, can tolerate wide range salinity. The transcriptome, proteome, hist...

A 56 days grow-out experiment with three protein levels (35, 40 and 45%) and three lipid levels (5, 10 and 15%) was conducted to evaluate the optimum protein and lipid ratio for Oriental River Prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense). Four hundred and five prawns, with mean (± SD) weight of 1.40 ± 0.04 g were distributed in 27 glass aquaria and were fed four times daily. Results showed that interaction...
