Abstract:
’l‘he reproductive physiology of the female palaemonid prawn
M. idella has been investigated by adopting a comprehensive approach
to the problem. The major aspects of the study included investigations
on breeding biology and process of oogenesis, variations in the
biochemical components in relation to maturation, neuroendocrine
relations and control over reproduction, and artificial insemination.
The prawns used in the present study were procured from
Vembanad Lake at Panavally village - a place nearly 20 km. away
from Cochin. The studies were carried out using standard histological
and biochemical methods. The modern technique of electroejaculation
was adopted for extrusion of spermatophores in artificial insemination
experiment.
