Abstract

Due to the growing requirement of high protein food from aquatic sources and to find a substitute for fisheries, prawn culture is the major restricted access in crustacean aquaculture industry. It is imperative to understand the physiological mechanisms involved in seed production of the candidate species. This review was carried out on studies of endocrine regulation of reproduction in giant fresh prawn Macro brachium rosenbergii. This type of work seems to be a practical substitute to eyestalk ablation to induce spawning. Since it is a commercially important crustacean, crustacean aquaculture industry and these hormonal manipulation like neurotransmitter and vertebrate type sex hormone indicted the possibility of introducing a new strategies for ovarian maturation in aquaculture.
