Larval Development of the Palaemonid Prawn, Macrobrachium Lanchesteri (De Man) Reared in the Laboratory (Decapoda, Caridea)

Previous study on the resistance of larvae of Sesarma curacaoense submitted to starvation has revealed a facultative lecithotrophy during zoeal stages, but megalopa and first juvenile stages are exclusively feeding stages. In the present study, the gross morphology and fine structure of the foregut of S. curacaoense were investigated during larval, megalopa and first juvenile stages. The foregut of the zoea I show specific setae and a filter press apparently functional. The foregut undergoes changes in the zoea II (last larval stage) with increment of setae number, mainly on the cardiopyloric valve and complexity of the filter press. After metamorphosis to megalopa stage the foregut become rather complex, with a gastric mill supporting a medial and two lateral teeth well-developed. The foregut of the first juvenile is more specialized compared to the previous stage, showing similar characteristics of the decapod adults. These results provide further evidence of facultative lecithotrophic development in the larvae of S. curacaoense.

Species Being

Freshwater prawn species Macrobrachium lanchesteri (De Man, 1911) in Kalimantan for the first time was reported to be found only in East Kalimantan and there have been no reports of this species being found in Central Kalimantan. This study aims to reveal the presence of invasive freshwater prawn and habitat characteristics found in the watershed of Palangka Raya University. This study was conducted in October–November 2019 covering five stations. Specimens were collected using a purposive sampling method. Environmental parameter measurements were made including types of substrate, water velocity, tree cover, water depth as well as width. The identification of specimens from the watershed of Palangka Raya University based on morphological characteristics shown that the species very similar to the alien freshwater prawn, M. lanchesteri. Based on the results of research, this report has revealed the presence of this invasive species in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
