Title: MARKING OF FRESHWATER PRAWN, MACROBRACHIUM MALCOLMSONII, IN RIVER GODAVARI
Abstract: Marking with the use of biological stain, Trypan blue, as an aid in determining the mark retention period, mark recapture technique and the behaviour of the prawns in general, has been conducted on the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium malcolmsonii of River Godavari. The period February—March has been found to be the most suitable period for marking prawns in the river. The chief observations from the study are: (1) occurrence of recaptures close to the release spot and recoveries from cast net indicating shoreward movement to shallow waters, (2) recovery of predominant numbers within a week after marking and (3) absence of any homogenous trend in the pattern of migration among the prawns marked
