Subject Prawn and Prawn fisheries
 
Description The females in the crustacean species have to
cope up in the adult stage, with two highly energy
demanding processes namely body growth and
reproduction. Body growth and moulting are
periodic events in the life cycle of prawns. In
prawns reproduction and growth are programmed
as antagonistic events. Apparently moulting is
induced when the levels of moult inhibiting
hormone (MIH) and gonad stimulating hormone
(GSH) are low and gonad inhibiting hormone (GIH)
and moulting hormone (MH) are high. To induce
gonadal maturation and spawning, unilateral
eyestalk ablation is the technique widely used
nowdays.
