Evaluation of growth performance in cyclically mated populations of Malaysian giant prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, in Malaysia

Malaysian giant prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man, 1879), is an important crustacean aquaculture candidate globally cultured chiefly in hot climates and seasonally in temperate zones. Although the first hatchery for artificial production of the species was established in Malaysia in 1984, how...
