Title Role of nutrition in broodstock management - Prawns
 
Creator Laxminarayana, A
 
Subject Fish Nutrition
 
Description For successful hatchery production of prawn seed a
steady supply of spawners of desired species of prawns at
the proper time is a necessary prerequisite. The uncertainity
of procuring spawners from the wild has stimulated worldwide
interest in the efforts to induce prawns to mature under
controlled conditions. A successful technology for inducing
maturity and spawning of penaeid prawns has been developed
at the Marine Prawn Hatchery Laboratory (MPHL) of Central
Marine Fisheries Research Institute by employing the method
of unilateral eyestalk ablation. Using this technique many
commercially important species of penaeid prawns (Penaeus
monodon, Pehaeus indicus, Penaeus semisulcatus, Metapenaeus
dobsoni, Metapenaeus monoceros and Parapenaeopsis stylifera)
have been induced to mature and spawn dn captivity (Muthu
and Laxminarayana, 1977, 1979, 1982; Laxminarayana and
Sasidharan, 1983).
