Giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii is an important freshwater crustacean species widely cultured in several south and Southeast Asian countries and fetches higher prices compared to freshwater fishes. Aquaculture production of this species reportedly declined in several countries including India. In order to develop a faster-growing strain of the species, ICAR-Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (ICAR-CIFA), Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India has started a family-based selective breeding programme of M. rosenbergii in collaboration with WorldFish, Malaysia. The base population for selection was established by using a complete three-by-three diallel cross among geographically distant populations of M. rosenbergii in India. The present study reports the performance of selected reproductive parameters of females of 3rd and 4th generations of selectively bred M. rosenbergii. Egg quality parameters such as fecundity, egg clutch weight, egg somatic index, egg wet and dry weight, and egg diameter were studied in 30 females from 3rd generation and 32 females from 4th generation females. Among the parameters studied, egg clutch weight was significantly higher in 4th generation (5.91±1.82 g) of selectively bred M. rosenbergii compared to 3rd generation (4.16±1.13g). ). The number of eggs per female, however, showed wide variations within and between generations. The mean body weight and total length of 4th generation berried females were higher (40.5±3.17 g; 157.96±11.18 mm) compared to that of 3rd generation berried females (31.55±6.28 g; 149.93±10.12 mm). Body traits and egg quality parameters (mean±SD) of 3rd and 4th generation of selectively bred M. rosenbergii berried female (n=number of replicates) depicted at Table 1. The results indicated the presence of a correlated positive response in female reproductive parameters in M. rosenbergii selected for higher body weight.
