Reproductive biology of Macrobrachium surinamicum (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) in the Amazon River mouth

Abstract: Macrobrachium surinamicum is an indigenous prawn distributed from the lower Amazon and Tocantins river basins to Venezuela in the Orinoco Delta region. It is common bycatch fauna of Macrobrachium amazonicum artisan fishing in the states of Pará and Amapá. The aim of this study was to investigate aspects on reproductive biology (reproductive period, size of sexual maturity population, fecundity, reproductive output and recruitment) of M. surinamicum from four important areas to artisanal prawn fishing located a… Show more

“…The same has been found for other populations of M. amazonicum and decapod crustaceans in general (Da Silva et al 2004;Lara & Wehrtmann 2009;Tamburus et al 2012, Pantaleão et al 2018. Decapod egg production is not exclusively related to female size but to the individual's conditions (Da Silva et al 2004;Lima et al 2015). Climate change, food availability (Mashiko 1990), habitat adaptation, egg size, and other factors can influence the reproductive output of crustaceans (Sastry 1983;Lima et al 2015).…”

Climate change, food availability (Mashiko 1990), habitat adaptation, egg size, and other factors can influence the reproductive output of crustaceans (Sastry 1983;Lima et al 2015). Some species produce many small-sized eggs, while others produce fewer and larger eggs (Nazari et al 2003).…”

“…The reproductive investment is related to a morphometric intraspecific variation in the populations (Lima et al 2015), where larger females produce more eggs. The abdominal cavities of the larger females are large enough to hold large quantities of eggs, as seen in Macrobrachium olfersii (Wiegman, 1836) and Macrobrachium potiuna (Müller, 1880) in Nazari et al (2003) and Macrobrachium surinamicum (Holthuis, 1948) in Lima et al (2015). However, these prawns have higher fecundity compared to the freshwater species evaluated in this study, mainly because of the environment they inhabit.…”
