Although giant freshwater prawn was introduced into Malaysia since the 1980s, there was no database information on antibiogram and heavy metal resistance profile of bacteria from giant freshwater prawn （34. rosenbergii） hatchery in Malaysia. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the effectiveness of antibiotic and heavy metal resistance profile to control bacterial diseases in M. rosenbergii hatchery. The results can provide valuable information for local M. rosenbergii post-larval producer. Antibiotic sensitivity test was carried out by disk-diffusion method against 15 types of antibiotics as follows： oxolinic acid （2 μg）, ampicillin （10μg）, erythromycin （15μg）, furazolidone （15 μg）, lincomycin （15μg）, amoxicillin （25 μg）, colistin sulphate （25 μg）, doxycycline （30μg）, florfenicol （30 μg）, flumequine （30 lag）, nalidixic acid （30μg）, tetracycline （30μg）, oleandomycin （15μg）, fosfomycin （50μg）, and spiramycin （100 μg）, whereas heavy metal resistance profile of the present bacterial isolates was determined by 2-fold agar dilution technique. In this study, 5 types of bacteria were successfully isolated; they were Aeromonas spp. （n = 77）, Escherichia coli （n = 73）, Edwardsiella spp. （n = 62）, Salmonella spp. （n = 75）, and Vibrio spp. （n = 43）. The result showed that furazolidone was the most effective antibiotic to control the bacteria isolated in this study, approximately 89.7% of the bacterial isolates were sensitive to this antibiotic. Multiple antibiotic resistance （MAR） index indicated that the hatchery water source and M. rosenbergii post-larval and sediment tanks were at high-risk exposure to the tested antibiotic. Furthermore, all the tested heavy metals （Cd2＋, Cr6＋, Hg2＋, and Cu2＋） failed to inhibit the growth of the bacterial isolates. Therefore, it indicated that the water source of the hatchery is contaminated with both antibiotic residues and heavy metal.展开更多

The experiment was conducted in cubic indoor fiberglass tanks, each holding 700 L in triplicate. Post-larvae with an average weight of 20.8 ± 0.20 mg were stocked at 80 PL m2. Five experimental isocaloric （15.06 MJ kgl digestible energy）, and isonitrogenous （30.45% digestible protein） diets were formulated by blending of soybean oil and linseed oil to containing five dietary LA/LNA ratios （7.80, 2.75, 1.28, 0.65 and 0.30）. The highest survival values were recorded for prawn PL fed diet containing 0.65 LA/LAN ratios. Growth indices of PL significantly increased （P 〈 0.05） with decreased dietary LA/LAN ratios to 0.65. The same trend was observed for the highest （P ≤ 0.05） protein efficiency ratio, protein productive value, fat retention, energy retention and best feed conversion ratio. The total whole tissue polyunsaturated fatty acid composition of M. rosenbergii PL was dominated by LA followed by LAN. Post larvae fed the diets containing higher LA/LNA ratios showed a higher tissue LA/LNA ratio. The obtained findings revealed that fatty acid patterns ofM. rosenbergii PL were influenced by fatty acid profiles of diets. The diet containing 0.65 LA/LNA ratio is recommended to obtaining optimum growth performance and feed utilization for M. rosenbergii PL.展开更多

A B. subtilis bacterium isolated from chicken intestine was added to commercial prawn feed as a probiotic. Six diets were prepared by soaking prawn feed into the B. subtilis to achieve 10^10, 10^9, 10^8, 10^7 and 106 levels with a non-treated control. After 60 days, the prawns fed diet at level 10^8 showed a higher mean weight gain （593.45 g） or 170.29% increase in growth over control. The mean weight gain showed a decreasing trend as the B. subtilis level decreased from 10^8 to 10^6 and the B. subtilis level increased from 10^8 to 10^10 in the diets. There were significant differences （P 〈 0.05） in weight gain, feed intake, daily growth and feed conversion ratio （FCR） among treated and controlled groups. There were significant differences （P 〈 0.05） among treatments and control in survival rate but no significant differences （P 〉 0.05） in water quality and biochemical composition among treated and controlled groups. Clearly, treated with B. subtilis appeared to enhance growth and survival of M. rosenbergii. It was concluded that the tested strain may be a promising probiotics for M. rosenbergii at a level of 10^8 B. subtilis into the prawn feed.展开更多

Studies were, therefore, undertaken to determine the changes in product quality on the use of different concentrations of STPP, sagu and litchi under ice storage condition. Percent weight gain of prawn was 5.46, 18.87 and 23.50 when dipped in 2%, 4% and 6% STPP solution, respectively. In all cases maximum water uptake by prawn muscle was during the first 6 h with fastest weight gain with STPP solutions containing tap water compared to those of ice and tap water. Organoleptic quality of the STPP treated samples became brown and spongy after 8 h of dipping treatment under iced condition. Quality assessment studies conducted after injecting sagu and litchi in prawn muscle showed little or no difference with those of control samples during the first 6 h, which turned whitish and swollen with severe drip loss after 24 h of ice stored condition, indicating characteristics for easy identification of the injected shrimps by organoleptic method.展开更多
