Proximate Composition for Egg Custard as Alternative Feed for Macrobrachium rosenbergii Larvae

Recently, the demand for aquaculture feed is increasing due to the expansion of small-scale hatcheries to large-scale or semi-intensive hatcheries. Giant freshwater prawn which also known as M. rosenbergii is an important source of income to farmers. However, the aquaculture development of this spec...
