Abstract
Larvae (stage 8) of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, a freshwater prawn, were immersed in
0.00 I, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 ppm of mesterolone concentrations by single administration. The
larvae were reared for 21 days in transparent aquarium (23 X 15 X 13.5 cm3 ) at the
density 20 larvae per liter ( 40 larvae/tank), fed twice daily with Artemia. Percent survival
rate, mean development stage (MOS), dry weight and post-larvae (PL) production were
monitored every 3 days.
