Effects of Salinity on Physiological and Genetic Changes in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii)

Masters Thesis: Environmental salinity levels play a vital role in organismal physiological status including growth, immunity and survival. Any change in aquatic salinity level can impose a major limiting effect on aquaculture production because of stress on organisms. The present study was conducted to investigate the salinity induced physiological (oxygen consumption and hemolymph osmolality) and genetic (expression pattern of two hemolymph regulatory genes) in the giant freshwater prawn (M. rosenbergii)
