Article Synopsis
- Macrobrachium acanthurus is a Brazilian prawn whose cultivation is economically important, prompting research into effective breeding techniques.
- Eyestalk ablation, a common practice to enhance ovarian development in crustaceans, was studied in both control and ablated female prawns, revealing no significant impact on fertility or brood quality.
- Findings indicate that unilateral eyestalk ablation does not improve reproductive performance or ovarian maturation in M. acanthurus, suggesting it is unnecessary in their farming practices.
