Introduction• Freshwater prawn farming has emerged since
early 1960 in world, in India 1990.
• Marine shrimp are grown in earthen ponds located in coastal areas of countries with tropical and subtropical climates.
• The fresh water prawn attains a good size in relative less time.
• Fresh water prawn commonly inhabits the Indian lakes, reservoirs, ponds and low salinity areas.
• Prawn farming quickly expanding area.

Identity and morphology The adult Macrobrachium rosenbergii can easily be
identified from other species in the genus by the following characteristics:
• Adult male has a pair of very long legs (chelipeds)
• The rostrum is long and bent in the middle with 11–13 dorsal teeth and 8–10 ventral teeth
• The movable finger of the leg of the adult male is covered by a dense mat of spongy fur
• Distinct black bands on the dorsal side at the junctions of the abdominal segments
![Page 6: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Life cycle• In the prawn life cycle four distinct phases comes
under: 1) Egg
2) larva (zoea)
3) Post larva (PL)
4) Adult
• The female starts to lay eggs about 5–6 hours after mating.
• As the eggs extrude, they are fertilized by the sperm attached to the exterior of the female body.
![Page 7: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Life Cycle
Adults spawn
at river, the
eggs and
larvae drift to
inshore
estuaries
where the
juveniles
grow.
![Page 8: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Embryonic development• The egg development begins with the
successful mating between ripe females and mature males.
• Incubation of the fertilized eggs takes 18–21 days, depending on the temperature (28°–30°C).
• The number of eggs carried by a female depends on her size, and varies from 3000 to 80,000.
![Page 9: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Larval development• The newly hatched larvae require brackish water
within 1–2 days, or they will die.
• As the larvae moult, they not only increase in size but also increase in complexity, with new body features appearing at each stage.
• There are 11 distinct larval stages and it takes about 22–35 days for a larva to complete these 11 stages, to become a post larva (PL).
• The change from the larva form to the PL form is called metamorphosis.
![Page 10: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Food and feeding habit• The larvae are carnivorous and in culture they
are fed on live, newly hatched brine shrimp.
• Isochrysis
– Brown algae
– (3-5 mm)
• Chaetoceros
– Diatom
– (4-6 mm)
• Tetraselmis
• Green algae
• (10-15 mm)
![Page 14: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Food and feeding habit• Juvenile and adult prawns are omnivorous.
• They feed on a wide variety of food items such as aquatic worms, insects and their larvae, small mollusks and crustaceans, flesh and offal of fish and other animals, grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, algae, tender leaves and stems of aquatic plants.
• In the culture medium artificial feed also use for food of prawn.

Prawn hatchery
• The hatchery building is usually associated with the nursery tanks and grow-out ponds in terms of water supply and other requirements.
• A freshwater prawn hatchery produces PL for growing out in ponds and for sale to other prawn grow-out enterprises.
![Page 18: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fresh Water Prawn Farming Concepts
• Fresh Water Prawn Culture are grown in earthen ponds located in coastal areas of countries with tropical and subtropical climates.
• Ponds are filled with freshwater, Prawn is reproduced and raised in captivity are stocked into the ponds and are ready for harvest in 90 to 120 days.
![Page 19: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Farming of Fresh Water Prawn• Fresh Water Culture are depend upon following
things:
1) Location of farm
2) Farm Permits
3) Farming Strategies
4) Pond Construction
5) Crop Species & Feeding
6) Stocking
7) Management
8) Harvesting
![Page 20: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Farm Location1) A study of the potential market for the product
and careful selection of suitable sites for prawn culture, whether it be for the larval (hatchery) or grow-out phases, is an essential prerequisite for successful farming.
2) Farm constructed near of fresh water body.
3) Road access, power supply, communication facilities and emergency generator are all essential components to run the equipment and operating systems in the hatchery.
![Page 21: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Farm Permits• Construction permits from Corps of
Engineers
• Aquaculture Permits from state
• Local permits
![Page 22: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Farming Strategies• Extensive
– Large ponds– Low stocking densities– Little management or investment
• Semi-Intensive– Falls in between the two extreme of intensive and
extensive
• Intensive– Smaller ponds– Aeration– High stocking densities– Feeding
![Page 23: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Water quality• Freshwater from a river, stream or lake, rainwater,
or groundwater can be used.
• Hardness (as CaCO3) should be in the range 50–100 ppm.
• Seawater is needed to mix with the freshwater to produce brackish water for the larvae.
• The seawater is disinfected with 10 ppm of calcium hypochlorite and stored for at least a week before use.

Harvesting• Harvest in October month
• Drain and seine pond net
• Direct market or sell to processor
• Store after dry
![Page 31: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Brood stock• The adult male and female prawns chosen for
breeding are called brood stock.
• On average, 500–1000 prawns (male and female) need to be kept as brood stock.
• Berried females 10–12 cm long usually carry about 10,000–30,000 eggs each and 40 g females, 35 g males.
• Brood stock are usually reared in ponds, starting with an initial stocking density of 4–5 PL/m2. of pond area and reducing to 2/m2 at adult size.

Fresh Water Prawn Brooder
![Page 34: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Growth to maturity• The PL grow to maturity within 4–7 months
in freshwater ponds.
• The PL grow to maturity is depending on temperature, food and environmental conditions.
• The maturity stages of females and male can be determined by external examination of the ovary, and testis.
![Page 35: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Feeding brood stock• An example of a pellet feed formulated for brood
stock feeding should roughly consist of:
1)Protein - 40%
2)Fat - 10%
3)Carbohydrate - 33%
4)Ash - 09%
5)Fiber - 08%
6)Gross energy - 04.3 kcal/g (18 kJ/g)

Hatch tank management• Berried females ready for spawning should not be
disturbed and should be kept secluded in the hatch tanks.
• Start with 500 L freshwater in a 1000 L hatch tank, and stock a maximum of 3–4 berried females.
• Keep the temperature at 25°–30°C and pH 7.0–7.3 until the eggs hatch.
• Tank water should be kept clean and free of dirt and debris through regular water changes and bottom-siphoning

FACTORS ENCOURAGING PRAWN FARMING EXPANSION
• Compatible with agriculture
• Small farmers can practice in their own land
• No interference with mangrove or environment
• Can be normally grown in salinity up to 8 ppt
• Large suitable areas all over the country
![Page 38: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PRAWN FARMING REDUCING POVERTYMore than 80% of the farms less an acre and
handled by small farmers.
Large numbers of mono-crop low-yielding paddies now converted into farms producing high priced prawn and fish in rotation with paddy .
Pond embankments grow vegetables and fruits fetching extra income and providing better nutrition.
![Page 39: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
SOME CURRENT PROBLEMS• Culture mostly dependent on rain water; no
assured perennial water supply or drainage network.
• Available commercial feeds are either of inadequate quality or are too expensive.
• Poor nursery practices.
• Declining wild brood-stock population due to over-fishing.
![Page 40: Fresh water prawn culture](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021418/5a16e2367f8b9aea4f8b4585/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Yields are:
1. Extensive – 500 kg/ha/crop
2. Semi-intensive – 1,000 to 1,500 kg/ha/crop
3. Intensive – 10,000 to 20,000 kg/ha/crop
