Highlights
The giant freshwater prawn M. rosenbergii is a candidate species for commercial aquaculture in the Indo-Pacific region.
The objectives are to determine median lethal salinity (MLS-5096 h) of M. rosenbergii, and to assess the survival and growth rates at different sub-lethal salinities.
The median lethal salinity of M. rosenbergii was estimated at 24.6 ppt salinity.
