| The feasibility of raising the Giant Malaysian Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in cooling pond waters of the Fort Churchill Power Plant, Wabuska, Nevada is discussed. Methods for the production of post larvae and pond culture data are described. Shrimp averaging 17 grams were produced during the first five months of pond culture despite below optimum water temperatures, indicating the possibility of commercial operation in the warmer months of the year. |
