This document summarizes freshwater prawn hatchery and nursery production. It describes the life cycle and biology of freshwater prawns, which are suitable for aquaculture due to their freshwater tolerance. Hatchery production involves broodstock holding, larval rearing, and nursery of post-larvae. Larval rearing requires precise water quality and live feeds. Nursery improves survival by growing post-larvae to a larger size for pond stocking. Recirculating systems are needed for temperature control in temperate regions. Proper feeding and stocking density are critical for maximizing nursery survival rates. Prawns are stocked into growout ponds in summer when water temperatures
Any aquatic invertebrate animals having a cutaneous or calcareous shell surrounding there body and belonging to the phylum Mollusca, the class Crustacea (phylum Arthropoda), or phylum Echinodermata is known as shellfish. The term is often used for the edible species of the groups, especially those that are fished or raised commercially. The most commercially important shellfish are:
• Mollusk: Oysters, mussels, scallops and clams
• Crustacean: Shrimp, prawn, lobster, crab and crayfish
• Echinoderm: sea urchins and sea cucumbers
Shellfish hatchery is a place where shellfish seeds are produced in a controlled way. Hatchery management is a branch of science which deals with the activities including from collection of brood shellfish to seed production. Culturing of shellfish has occurred since ancient times. Although controlled rearing of young shell has long existed, hatchery production is a more recent advancement. Producing seed under controlled conditions in a hatchery will disconnect its production from environmental factors and provide a reliable supply of seed. Oysters, mussels and mud crabs are the most important groups of shellfish after shrimp and prawn. These are popular among the western countries and becoming more popular all over the world. So hatchery management of oyster, mussel and crab is crucial.

3. HISTORY OF FISH PHARMACOLGY:
Pharmacology emerged as its own discipline in the 19th Century, branching off from research done in fields of science such as organic chemistry and physiology. Oswald Schmiedeberg, who was born in what is now Latvia in 1838, is considered the father of pharmacology. His doctoral thesis was on the measurement of chloroform levels in blood, and he went on to become a professor of pharmacology at the University of Strasburg, where he ran an institute of pharmacology. There, he studied chloroform, which was used as an anesthetic, chloral hydrate, a sedative and hypnotic, and muscarine, a compound isolated from the mushroom Amanita muscaria that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and has been used to treat various diseases such as glaucoma.
In 1890, John Jacob Abel became the first pharmacology chair in the United States, at the University of Michigan. He later went to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Abel was the first to isolate the hormone epinephrine from the adrenal gland, isolate histamine from the pituitary gland, and make pure crystalline insulin. Animals such as dogs, cats, pigeons, and frogs were used to test pharmacological substances. Humans were even used as test subjects. Sometimes they suffered through severe adverse effects from these substances, such as when the German pharmacist Friedrich Serturner and three of his friends had poisoning for several days from an alkaloid that Serturner had isolated from opium. This alkaloid was later named morphine, after the Ancient Greek god of sleep, Morpheus.
Oswald Schmiedeberg was a brilliant scientist. He studied the pharmacology of various compounds, including chloroform, and published an important text called the Outline of Pharmacology. There, he studied chloroform, which was used as an anesthetic, chloral hydrate, a sedative and hypnotic, and muscarine, a compound isolated from the mush to the field, Schmiedeberg is now known as 'the father of pharmacology'.
Shrimp farming in India, till 2009, was synonymous with the mono culture of tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon. About 1,90,000 ha brackishwater area have been developed for shrimp culture in the country spread over all the coastal states. Since 1995 culture of P monodon is affected by White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) and the development of shrimp farming has become stagnant.
Most of the Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia were also culturing P. monodon and since 2001-02 onwards most of them have shifted to culture of exotic Whiteleg shrimp,Litopenaeus vannamei because of the availability of Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) and Specific Pathogen Resistant (SPR) broodstock. In India, Pilot-scale introduction of L.vannamei was initiated in 2003 and after a risk analysis study large-scale introduction has been permitted in 2009.
Fishing is the art of catching fish and other aquatic animals. Many years ago man started using various type of gear used for hunting the terrestrial animals and for fishing also. It is very difficult to say which started first, but some time it is opined that fishing is younger. Reason behind it is easy to catch animals in the land than in the water. In olden days fishing was not having much importance as there was no demand for fish. Earlier fishing was restricted to a particular community but it is not so now. In order to meet the increased demand, fishing is now carried out industrially. Fishing technology not only concerns fishing gear, fishing methods and vessels but also concern Biological and Environmental factors

Broodstock And Hatchery Management Of Penaeus Monodonsush_p
Shrimp aquaculture is an important and valuable production sector that has been growing rapidly over the past two decades. Success is largely based on the quality of post larvae, particularly their health condition, thus making hatchery production of quality post larvae crucial to the sector’s sustainability. Vietnam is the leading producer of black tiger shrimp in the world with a production of 300,000 tons in 2011, followed by India and Indonesia with a production of 187,900 tons and 126,200 tons respectively.
Major contribution of the tiger shrimp to global shrimp production and the economic losses resulting from disease outbreaks, it is essential that the shrimp-farming sector invest in good management practices for the production of healthy and quality seed. The Indian shrimp hatchery industry has established a detailed guidance and protocols for improving the productivity, health management, biosecurity and sustainability of the sector. Following a brief review of shrimp hatchery development in India, the major requirements for hatchery production are discussed under the headings: infrastructure, facility maintenance, inlet water quality and treatment, wastewater treatment, biosecurity, standard operating procedures (SOPS), the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach, chemical use during the hatchery production process and health assessment. Pre-spawning procedures include the use of wild, domesticated and specific pathogen free/ specific pathogen resistant (SPF/SPR) broodstock, broodstock selection and holding techniques, transport, utilization, health screening, maturation, nutrition and spawning, egg hatching; nauplius selection, egg/ nauplius disinfection and washing and holding, disease testing and transportation of nauplii. Post-spawning procedures include: larval-rearing unit preparation, larval rearing/health management, larval nutrition and feed management, important larval diseases, quality testing/selection of PL for stocking, PL harvest and transportation, nursery rearing and record keeping.

The giant freshwater prawn is the largest and fastest-growing freshwater prawn widely distributed in Indian rivers’ confluent of the sea. The Giant freshwater prawn, M. rosenbergii, has great demand both in national and international markets. It migrates between river and estuary.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

4. Macrobrachium rosenbergii
The freshwater prawn is native to tropical
countries along the Pacific ocean.
Although freshwater as adults – they require salt
water to reproduce.
Widely cultured within its native range and has
been shown to have culture potential even in
temperate inland areas of the US.
6. Life History
Prawns have a hard
outer skeleton that is
shed regularly for
growth.
Weight and size
increases occur after
each molt.
Growth is incremental
rather than continuous.
7. Adults
Older juveniles and some
adults often have a blue-
green or brown color.
Color is related to the
quality and type of diet.
Adult males are larger
than females. They are
easily distinguished by
larger heads and claws.
8. Larvae
At 80 oF, approximately 20 days are required for
the eggs to hatch. Larvae swim upside down and
tail first.
Larvae cannot survive in freshwater beyond 2 days
and must migrate to brackish water (10-14 ppt).
Larvae undergo 11 molts before transforming into
post-larvae, which takes 25-45 days.
9. Morphotypes
Male
– Blue claw
– Orange claw
– Small male
Female
– Open (Breeding)
– Berried (Eggs)
– Virgin
11. Temperate Production
Production in temperate regions of the US has
increased rapidly in recent years.
Production includes four distinct phases; hatchery,
nursery, growout, and broodstock holding.
Hatchery, nursery and brood holding are generally
conducted indoors.
Pond growout is conducted in the summer
growing season (100-150 days).
12. Cycle
Hatchery – March
Nursery – April / May
Growout – June – September
Broodstock – October - April
14. Considering Shrimp Production?
Skip the hatchery and possibly the nursery
phase – purchase from supplier.
As you become successful at pond growout
consider a nursery.
Break-even on a hatchery >1 million PL.
Knowledge intensive.
16. Broodstock Holding
At pond harvest,
broodstock are stocked
in heated tanks and
maintained throughout
the winter.
Broodstock are stocked
at 1:4 male to female
ratio in heated tanks at
one prawn ft2 or 7.5
gallons.
17. Larvae
Egg development takes two weeks at 84o F, a 40 g
female can produce approx. 20,000 larvae.
Prawn larvae requires brackish water (12 ppt salt)
for the 30 day larval period.
Larvae are extremely small (<0.01 g) and are fed
live food (Artemia) at frequent intervals.
22. The larval collector
allows better control
of stocking density in
larval tanks.
It is important to have
larvae as close to the
the same age as
possible – no more
than 2-3 days apart.
Larval Collector
23. First Week
Larvae are initially
stocked in small tanks
at high density
(>1,000/L) for the first
6-10 days and fed
Artemia twice a day.
25. Second Stage
After approx. 1 week,
larvae are moved to
larger tanks (450-
1,000 gal) and the
density reduced to 50-
100/L.
Supplemental feeding
is initiated.
26. Supplemental Diet
By day 10 larvae
should be fed a
supplemental diet. In
addition to artemia.
1lb. Squid or fish
4 eggs
Tsp cod liver oil
Tsp Vit C
27. Survival
Survival in larval culture
ranges from 0-50%!
At 30 days, post-larvae
are harvested and
remaining larvae are
sacrificed (<5%) when
acclimated to freshwater.
29. Nursery
Growth from 0.01g to
0.3g in 45 days.
The nursery stage
improves survival by
stocking larger animals.
Developed to reduce
pond growout time in
temperate production.
30. Nursery Period
Beyond 60 days, the
rate of mortality
increases significantly
and reaches maximum
at 2.5g of animals per
L.
Following 30-60 days,
juveniles should be
>0.25g
31. Feeding
Feed a commercial
salmonid starter diet
approx. 10% of
biomass daily.
Best to feed to
satiation – observe
feeding based on left
over feed on tank
bottom.
33. Heating Water
Heating the water is the major expense in
culturing tropical animals in a temperate climate.
Electric emersion heaters work well to maintain
temperature but are expensive to operate.
A building should be designed to have a sufficient
heat source to maintain ambient temperature.
34. Recycle Systems
Primarily used to have control over the
culture environment.
The only option when culturing tropical
animals outside their native range.
35. Efficient Feeding
Proper feeding is the most critical aspect of
managing a prawn nursery.
If larvae or post-larvae are underfed they will eat
each other. If they are overfed, water quality will
deteriorate and they will die.
Feed cost insignificant
– 20,000 juveniles for 60 days require approx. 25 lbs.
36. Round Tanks
Small tanks may be
advantageous for
simplicity when stocking
and harvesting.
Large tanks more
efficient
20,000 PLs per 1,000 gal.
37. Stocking Density?
Survival during the nursery phase has been highly
variable (40-100%).
Juvenile prawns are territorial and cannibalistic
and are limited by available two-dimensional
space.
Survival in nursery culture may be related to the
amount of substrate provided.
39. Economics of nursery to stock

41. Pond Stocking
When the water
temperatures are
consistently > 68o F (
early June) prawns
are stocked in growout
ponds at 12 - 30,000
per acre.
42. Stocking Density
Densities of 12,000 – 32,000 acre depending on
the desired size, total ponds, and use of substrate.
Generally lighter densities produce larger prawns,
where higher densities produce more total pounds.
Increased feeding rates and inclusion of substrate
have consistently achieved 2,000 lbs/acre of 40g
animals in small research ponds.
