“…M. amazonicum presents low fecundity compared with the giant river prawn M. rosenbergii , which spawns around 80 000 to 100 000 eggs (New ). However, the Oriental river prawn Macrobrachium nipponense , a small but very important freshwater prawn farmed in China, only produces ~5000 eggs (Kutty & Weimin ). This value is similar to the mean fecundity observed in M. amazonicum in the present study.…”

Effects of the ratio of dietary fatty acids, namely n‐3 (mainly long chain polyunsaturated – LC‐PUFA) to n‐6 PUFA on the fecundity of Macrobrachium amazonicum were evaluated. In T1, the diet had equal and low levels of dietary n‐3 and n‐6 fatty acids (6 mg g−1). In T2, the concentration of n‐3 (6 mg g−1) was a half of the concentration of the n‐6 (12 mg g−1), and in T3, the diet had equal and high concentrations of n‐3 and n‐6 (12 mg g−1). Females with ovaries in stages I, III and V were collected. Higher gonadosomatic index (GSI) (6.89%) was observed in females in ovarian stage V than at other ovarian stages; however, the hepatosomatic index (HIS) showed high values in all females with ovaries in the stage III. A ratio of 1:2 n‐3:n‐6 fatty acids increased the GSI of mature females and the number of eggs spawned. Raising the level of both n‐3 and n‐6 fatty acids from ~0.6% to ~1.2% of the diet did not produce any effect on the GSI or on fecundity, suggesting that the ratio is more important than the absolute value of these two families of fatty acids.

“…In contrast, M. rosenbergii has not been significantly intensified mainly because of the increased levels of cannibalism that occur at higher densities (Brown et al 2010;New 2010). In contrast, intensification of M. nipponense was seen as a solution to meet domestic consumption needs (Kutty & Miao 2010).…”

“…Artificial breeding and larval-rearing technology of the two Macrobrachium species for large-scale commercial production have been established with annual postlarvae (PL) production of approximately 20 billion and 30 billion of M. rosenbergii and M. nipponense, respectively (Fu et al 2012). The M. nipponense larvae mainly rely on natural reproduction in the culture water body, and growth of species has thus possibly been constrained by a dependence on self-recruitment and inbreeding (Feng et al 2008;Kutty & Miao 2010), but wild-caught PL and juveniles are rarely used due to difficulties of transportation and low survival (Kutty & Miao 2010). In contrast, the M. rosenbergii larvae derive from commercial artificial hatcheries for which production remains inconsistent (Kutty & Miao 2010;New & Kutty 2010).…”

A comparative analysis of four internationally traded farmed seafood commodities in China: domestic and international markets as key drivers

The historical development, current status and development trends of four internationally traded farmed seafood commodities, tilapia, penaeid shrimp, macrobrachium prawns and catfish in China were reviewed. China is the world's largest producer of tilapia, penaeid shrimp and macrobrachium prawns but, although farming of channel catfish and some indigenous catfish species is well developed, striped catfish failed to become established. In terms of global exports, China ranks first for tilapia and third for shrimp, while macrobrachium prawns and catfish mainly support domestic markets. Endogenous, biological characteristics and market demand explain the different courses of development and the differentiated focus on domestic and international trade. Tilapia and whiteleg shrimp production illustrated rapid growth in both domestic and international markets based on their favourable culture characteristics and well-developed management systems. Huge production scale and domestic competition have resulted in China attaining a dominant and highly competitive position in the global tilapia market. High value of live freshwater prawns in local markets (and poor processing yield) has limited interest in exports, and local demand is also shifting the emphasis of shrimp production towards domestic markets, and a decline in its international market led to stagnation of channel catfish. Poor tolerance of seasonally low temperatures has restricted tilapia production to south China and completely inhibited the development of striped catfish as a commercial species. Live fish preference and costs of long-distance transportation have restricted domestic consumption of tilapia. A balance between domestic consumption and export is required to optimise future growth opportunities for the industry

“…Besides the giant river prawn, the other main species farmed is the oriental river prawn M. nipponense (Kutty & Weimin ). This native species is generally regarded in China as having a better taste and more desirable texture (more tender) than other species despite its smaller size (X. Zhou, pers.…”

In welcoming participants to Giant Prawn 2011, the authors briefly review the current scale of this component of global aquaculture. The expansion of freshwater prawn farming over the 30 years since the first global conference on this topic [Giant Prawn 1980] is examined. At the time of GP1980, the output of farmed giant river prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) was <3000 t. Almost three decades later (2009) the total annual aquaculture production of all species of freshwater prawns had risen to almost 444 000 t, with a value of US$2.2 billion. The farmed production of M. rosenbergii constituted 51.7% of the global total, while the oriental river prawn M. nipponense (reared totally in China) contributed 47.2%. The contribution of the monsoon river prawn M. malcolmsonii remains quite small so far, and does not show in the above percentages because no recent FAO data are available for this species. In 2007, however, the latter species contributed 1.0% of the total global production of freshwater prawns. The major freshwater prawn producing countries are in Asia (e.g. Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam) but Macrobrachium spp. are also farmed in other continents.
