Freshwater prawns, Macrobrachium lamarrei (Crustacea-Decapoda) were subjected to static subacute exposure (0.755 mg/l) of detergent, Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonate (LAS) (25% 96h LC50) for 10,20 & 30 days. Hepatopancreas showed pronounced changes like vacuolization, hypertrophy, hyperplasia and degenerative leading almost complete loss histoarchitecture after days exposure. Peculiar cell shedd...

Atyid freshwater shrimps are globally distributed and form an important part of freshwater ecosystems, particularly in the tropics and subtropics. Despite their widespread distribution and ecological importance, their phylogenetic relationships are largely unresolved. Here we present the first comprehensive molecular phylogeny of the Atyidae investigating the evolutionary relationships among 32...

A 95 days experiment was conducted to observe the growth performance of giant fresh water prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) replacing fishmeal protein by dietary soybean meal in ten earthen mini ponds (50 m2), at Khulna University campus . Five experimental diets containing 25% as Control, Diet 1, 2, 3 and 4 were used. In 36% used a sole source prepared substituting with 30, 40, 50, 80% respect...

The potential causes of adult sex ratio variation in guppies Poecilia reticulata were tested in laboratory experiments that evaluated the mortality rates of male and female P. reticulata exposed to potential predators (Hart's rivulus Rivulus hartii and freshwater prawns Macrobrachium crenulatum) and to different resource levels. Poecilia reticulata mortality increased in the presence of R. hart...

BACKGROUND Prawns and shrimp are a frequent cause of seafood allergy mediated by IgE antibodies. Penaeus monodon and Penaeus latisulcatus, commonly known as black tiger prawn and king prawn, respectively, are among the most frequently consumed prawns in Malaysia. The aim of this study was to identify the IgE-binding proteins of these 2 prawn species. METHODS Raw and boiled prawn extracts were...

Bangladesh has made significant progress in social and economic development recent years, but micronutrient deficiencies poor dietary diversity remain a challenge. This paper developed five scenarios to explore futures of fish supply-demand using the AsiaFish model, with special emphasis on role macronutrient supply address nation's malnutrition nutrition security challenges. A business-as-usua...
