Abstract:One of the problems in giant prawn cultivation is female giant prawns laying eggs during rearing. They will incubate their eggs for three weeks so that the energy from the expected feed for growth is used for egg development and other reproductive activities. Giving MPA hormone to giant prawns either by injection or oral could inhibit gonadal maturation and increase growth rate. The maturation process of the prawn ovary consists of the activation of some complex cellular mechanisms involving genes that regulat… Show more
