Reazul IkhsanNatrah Fatin Mohd RajaeeAmy Halimah 82014148The freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii exhibits three male morphotypes:
Blue Claw (BC) male, Orange Claw (OC) male and Small Male (SM). Effects of bilateral
eyestalk ablation on growth and survival of SM freshwater prawn were determined
in monosex culture. The SM juveniles (9 g) were used in treatment bilateral eyestalk
ablation and control (intact/unablated) at a hatchery. Ablated prawns were stocked
at 5 prawn m-2 for 80 days. At the end of the experimental period,
the average weight increased from 8.96±1.06 to 40.95±4.01 g, with bilaterally
ablated prawns attaining the greatest growth. The final body weight of prawn at
harvest was 40.95± 4.01 g in bilateral ablated SM and 22.69±2.41 g in unablated
SM. The specific growth rate of bilaterally ablated prawns (1.90%) was significantly
higher than unablated prawns (1.15%). The growth trend of SM prawn was increased
significantly from the controls. The wet weight of ablated prawns doubled compared
to the control but yield was not significantly different due to mortality. The
survival of bilaterally ablated prawn was significantly low 50%. The potency of
bilateral eyestalk ablation in enhancing growth rates may be limited due to high
mortalities of ablated prawn.]]>Ali, Y.O. and J.F. Wickins,1994Homarus gammarus (L.), destined for release to the sea.]]>25483496Booth, J.D. and J.
