An Improved Design for In Vitro Hatching of Macrobrachium Eggs

Abstract:

An artificial incubator was designed for the mass hatching of freshwater prawn eggs. The design and efficiency of the incubator are described in detail. Three-day-old eggs of Macrobrachium malcolmsonii, M. nobilii, M. idella and M. lamarrei were incubated in the new incubator and about 84% of incubated eggs successfully hatched. The advantages of the design are discussed.
