Abstract
Interspecific crossing has been attempted between Macrobrachium malcolmsoniiand M. rosenbergii two cultivable freshwater prawns. The respective females
successfully produced viable larvae. The hatching rate and survival percentage
increases with increase in size of both the species and it was comparatively higher
in M. rosenbergii females. In intraspecific insemination trials, three M.
malcolmsonii females produced viable larvae and another three shed their eggs.
However, four M. rosenbergii females produced viable larvae and two shed their
eggs. In interspecific insemination trials, females shed their eggs after about 6
to 8 days of incubation.
