Description The members of the genus Macrobrachium of family
Palaemonidae, class Crustacea number over a hundred species in
the world. Many of them are of high economic importance, both
as items of food (source of protein) as well as cash crop, fetching
good prices in the market. These prawns are widely distributed
in tropical, subs tropical and temperate zones and are gaining more
and more importance as culturable species. This is mainly due to
their omnivorous habit, endurance to wide range of salinity and easy
breeding in captivity.
Modern farming of Macrobrachiurn had its humble birth
in Penang, Malaysia in the early 1960's and in less than 15 years
it has generated great world-wide interest. Many important research
and development projects have been initiated in many countries (Ling,
1982). Ling has done the pioneering work of culture of Macrobrachiurn.
Ling and Merican later (1961 )developed a method for larval rearing
and seed production of M. rosenbergii. Subsequently extensive efforts
have been made to develop the hatchery techniques and on culture
aspects of M. rosenbergii (Ling, 1962, 1968, 1969a and b). Following
the above works, Fujimura and Okamoto (1970) refined the technique
of seed production and cultivation of M. rosenbergii. Malecha (1977)
attempted cross-breeding of different strains of M. rosenbergii from
different parts of United States of America. Dietz (1982) in his
extensive studies on M. rosenbergii reported the impact of eyes talk
ablation on the reproduction. Further Sandifer and Lynn (1980)
in United States and Chow et al. (1982) in Japan have developed
technique of artificial insemination in M. rosenbergii. At
present the farming of M. rosenbergi, though on a small scale
is established in Hawaii, Florida and California in U.S. and Indonesia,
Malasia, Taiwan and Thailand in Asia.
