Giant River Prawn
Macrobrachium rosenbergii, also known as the giant river prawn or giant freshwater prawn, is a commercially important speciesof palaemonid freshwater prawn. It is found throughout the tropical and subtropical areas of the Indo-Pacific region, from Inda to Southeast Asia and Northern Australia.[2] The giant river prawn has also been introduced to parts of Africa, China, Japan, New Zealand, the Americas and the Caribbean.[3] It is one of the biggest freshwater prawns in the world and is widely cultivated in several countries for food.[2] While M. rosenbergii is considered a freshwater species, the larval stage of the animal depends on brackishwater.[4] Once the individual shrimp has grown beyond the planktonic stage and becomes a juvenile, it will live entirely in freshwater.[4]
