- The three phases of freshwater prawn culture are hatchery, nursery, and pond grow out.
- This article provides detailed information on the design and operation of a freshwater prawn hatchery and nursery facility.
- That would enable the producer to culture juveniles for stocking his own production ponds or for sale to other grow-out operations.
- The hatchery and nursery stages are labor intensive and exacting, and require relatively high expertise for success.
- A limited number of postlarvae and juvenile suppliers currently exist, and an increase in demand will eventually lead to more enterprises that deal exclusively in the production and sale of seedstock.

- Species of the freshwater prawn genus Macrobrachium are distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical regions of the world.
- Predominant species being produced is Macrobrachium rosenbergii.
- Macrobrachium rosenbergii is indigenous to South and Southeast Asia, northern Oceania, and the western Pacific islands.
- This species has been transferred from their natural location to many parts of the world.
- This transfered initially for research purposes and ultimately for commercial production.

- This study has been conducted by Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences.
- The study is based on Vietnamese government major target species of the country's aquaculture sector.
- Until the beginning of 2000, the supply of hatchery-reared M. rosenbergii did not meet the growing need for commercial prawn.
- This problem lead Japan International Research Center for Agricultural Sciences (JIRCAS) and Vietnam's Cantho University initiated a collaborative research in 1995.
- Their main studies is to jointly developed a new and improved means of seed production technology for this species.
