“…Such events promote contact among geographically isolated species, raising several ecological and evolutionary questions. In South America, for example, the Asian M. rosenbergii has established invasive populations in areas where the native M. amazonicum occurs [21], a condition that also occurs in many other countries [22]. Therefore, it is increasingly necessary to evaluate the potential for intercrossing of Macrobrachium species, as a valuable parameter for biological conservation in the light of genetic introgression risks.…”

Freshwater prawns of the genus Macrobrachium are one of the important components of circumtropical marine, estuarine, and freshwater environments. They have been extensively exploited for human consumption for many years. More than 250 species reflect the evolutionary success of this highly diversified group, with a complex and challenging taxonomy due to morphological variations and vast geographical distribution. Although genetic approaches have been used to clarify phylogenetic and taxonomic aspects of Macrobrachium species, cytogenetic information is still very scarce and mostly focused on chromosome number and morphology. Here, we present chromosome data for three species from the Neotropical region, M. carcinus, M. acanthurus, and M. amazonicum, and one species from the Oriental region, M. rosenbergii. Using conventional cytogenetic approaches and chromosome mapping of repetitive DNAs by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we identified numerical diversification of the diploid set, within and between both zoogeographic regions. These included M. acanthurus and M. amazonicum sharing diploid chromosomes of 98, while M. carcinus has 94, and M. rosenbergii has 118 chromosomes. Argentophilic sites are also variable in number, but they occur in a much higher number than 18S rDNA, representing two to 10 sites within the study species. Microsatellites repeat motifs are also abundant in the chromosomes, with a co-localization and uniform distribution along the chromosome arms, but completely absent in the AT-rich centromeric regions. As a whole, our study suggests that the 2n divergence was followed by a considerable rDNA diversification. The abundance of the exceptional amount of microsatellite sequences in the chromosomes also suggests that they are essential components of the Macrobrachium genome and, therefore, maintained as a shared feature by the species, the reason for which is yet unknown.

“…Barros and Silva (1997) recorded Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879) from the surroundings of Belém and Bragança. A study using molecular analysis made by Iketani et al (2011) determined that the species introduced in the coastal areas of Pará was actually M. dacqueti (Sunier, 1925), but the name M. rosenbergii must be kept (Wovor and Ng 2008;ICZN 2010). Maciel et al (2011) found Macrobrachium equidens (Dana, 1852) from the Taici Creek, a tidal channel that connects the Caeté and Taperaçu Rivers, near Brangança, northeastern Pará.…”

A list of the distribution records for 18 species of freshwater shrimps of the families Euryrhynchidae (3 spp.), Palaemonidae (13 spp.) and Sergestidae (2 spp.) from the states of Amapá and Pará are presented. All records are documented by voucher specimens deposited in the three main carcinological collections from northern Brazil: Instituto de Pesquisas Científicas e Tecnológicas do Amapá (Macapá), Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia (Manaus), and Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (Belém). Maps of the geographic distribution of these records in the eastern Amazon region are offered, and comments on the zoogeography of the species are made.

Macrobrachium rosenbergii, the giant freshwater prawn, is an important source of high quality protein and occurs naturally in rivers as well as commercial farms in South and South‐East Asia, including Bangladesh. This study investigated the genetic variation and population structure of M. rosenbergii sampled from four rivers in Bangladesh (sample size ranged from 19 to 20), assessing sequence variation, both in the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (CO1) gene and in 106 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) sampled randomly from the genome with double digest RAD sequencing (ddRADseq). The mitochondrial variation presented a shallow genealogy with high haplotype diversity (h = 0.95), reflecting an expansion in population size for the last ~82 kyr. Based on the CO1 variation the current effective population size (N e) was 9.7 × 106 (CI: 1.33 × 106 – 35.84 × 106) individuals. A significant population differentiation was observed with the mitochondrial CO1 sequence variation and based on the ddRADseq variation, which could be traced to the divergence of the population in the Naf River in the South‐East border with Myanmar from the other populations. A differentiation in mtDNA haplotype frequencies was also observed between the Biskhali River and the Karnaphuli Rivers in eastern Bangladesh. This study demonstrated the use of high‐throughput genotyping based on the ddRADseq method to reveal population structure at a small geographical scale for an important freshwater prawn. The information from this study can be utilized for management and conservation of this species in Bangladesh.
