Abstract

The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is one of the most commercially cultured crustaceans in the world. It has been grown in China for nearly 40 years, since it was first introduced from Japan in 1976. Freshwater prawn farming is very popular in many regions in China, especially in the Yangtze River Delta region – the most important giant freshwater prawn farming areas – as many local farmers regard the farming of these crustaceans as a good way of making money.
