“…Global production of the prawn in 2009 was 229,419 tones, of which 552 tones came from Malaysia [10]. Malaysia has a high potential for aquaculture development due to the country's favorable conditions in terms of natural habitats such as ponds, rivers, lakes, estuaries, and coastal areas.…”

In Malaysia, the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is becoming an increasingly important targeted species, as its culture, is considered to have the potential to raise income among impoverished farmers. Although, total freshwater aquaculture production decreased in the year 2013 compared to previous year, the aquaculture production of M. rosenbergii increased from 318 tonnes in 2012 to 457 tonnes in 2013. Recently, the production of giant freshwater fries increased from the three government and 21 private hatcheries in 2012 to the four government and 19 private hatcheries in 2013. The number and production of feed mills increased in 2013 compared to the four years ago. Until recently, lack of a stable nursery of PL and feed had been an important obstacle to the further expansion and development of M. rosenbergii culture. This paper reviews the current status of freshwater prawn culture in Malaysia and background history, and future prospects of freshwater prawn farming. It was concluded that freshwater prawn farming in Malaysia has a favorable scenario for expansion due to increasing demand and to prospects of an improved organization of the productive chain.

“…The total annual aquaculture production of all species of freshwater prawns had risen to almost 444000t in 2009 [1]. As an economic activity, the cultivation of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii constitutes 52% of the global total [1].…”

Three extruded diets were formulated and used to cultivate Macrobrachium rosenbergii prawns. For ninety days, the prawns were fed on the similarly balanced isonitrogeneous and isoenergetic diets, based on albumin and linseed (Linseed diet), on whey proteins concentrate (WPC) and soybean oil (Whey proteins diet), and on albumin and soybean oil (Control diet). Every thirty days, the shrimps were weighed and submitted to analyses. The results showed that the average body weights for the shrimps fed on the Linseed and Whey proteins diets were approximately sixty percent higher than for those fed on the Control diet. No significant differences were found for the protein content and the total lipid content in shrimps fed on the diets. However, the Linseed diet led to the lowest cholesterol level and improved the ratio between the sum of n-6 and the sum of n-3 fatty acids in the whole body of shrimps. WPC was used for the first time as a protein source for shrimp feeds, and may be considered as a component to be used in extruded diets for aquaculture. The results suggested that the experimental diets succeeded to provide shrimps with greater weight gain and nutritional value.

“…The giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, "Scampi" is commercially cultured in India, China, Taiwan, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Thailand and in South America (New and Nair, 2012). It is one of the most important cultured crustaceans being farmed to promote rural livelihood and contributes to global food security.…”
