Breeding of the marine prawn Metapenaeus dobsoni in brackishwater ponds

Year: 1982

Type: article

Abstract: Female Metapeinaeus dobsoni have attained full ovarian maturation in the ponds of the Marine Prawn \nHatchery Laboratory of the CMFRI at Narakkal during the summer months when the salinity was 28.0-29.0 \nppt. These females were made to spawn in the pond water kept in 50 litre plastic basins and the resulting \nnauplii were successfully reared upto the late postlarval stage in the same medium. The possibility of \nM. dobsoni breeding and completing its life cycle in the brackishwater areas during the high salinity months \nis discussed.
