Course Syllabus


Theory
Natural seed resources, site selection and collection methods. Life cycle of important shellfish (Penaeus monodon, P. indicus, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, P. Vannamei, Scylla serrata, lobster, edible, oyster, pearl oyster, fresh water mussel, holothurians, horse-shoe carb, Sepia, Loligo, cray fish etc.). Sexual maturity and breeding seasons of different species. Maturation stages of Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Penaeus monodon. and P. Vannamei. Induced maturation in Penaeus monodon and P. Vannamei P. Indicus by eye stalk ablation. Reproductive physiology. Reproductive harmones in crustaceans. Brood stock management of Penaeus monodon and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Breeding and hatchery management of Penaeus monodon and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Breeding and hatchery management of crabslobster, mussel, edible and pearl oyster. Food and feeding of larval stages of important shellfishes. Health management in hatcheries.

Practical

Identification of brood stock and maturity stages of important crustaceans and mollusks. Observations on gonadal maturation of Penaeus monodon and Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Breeding and larval rearing of Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Penaeus monodon P. Vannamei. Practice in the operation of shrimp and prawn hatcheries. Water treatment and management in shrimp and prawn hatcheries. Different chemicals and drugs used in shrimp/ prawn hatchery.
