Free food from nature. They never have to spend a single cent for tucker.

[@drlillianacorredor7421]

Macrobrachium spp. I spent 5 years of my life studying their behaviour (PhD): why only some grow very large & how they stunt the growth of the rest. Pheromones or visual? Not clear results. Affect their aquaculture production.

Hey Dr Lilliana

[@diremirai413]

Been fishing for them since I was a child and has devled a little into their behavior and aquaculture production. An amazing genus to study

[@MrWackozacko]

Interesting, how do you overcome the salt water part of their breeding cycle?

[@RonaldFrancis-d1j]

That's fascinating. I've kept Yabbies and once I put two in a tank and one of them just seemed to give up and go in a corner and refused to eat. I watched him closely and gave him food but he hardly ate while the other grew massive. They were both the same size initially and I fed them both separately but ended one being double the size of the other. The other eventually stopped eating and died. he literally just gave up on life became depressed and died. It was very interesting to watch it behaved like a human with severe depression.

[@saketh8565]

Can you help with some details for the culture in which we are growing male-only freshwater prawns that are genetically modified? Also, can their blue arms regrow when intentionally broken?

[@chalermpolmingmuangthai9310]
