Three cooling rates of 1.26+/-0.09degreesC h(-1) within 8 h (slow, T(1)), 2.52+/-0.18degreesC h(-1) within 4 h (moderate, T(2)) and 5.04+/-0.36degreesC h(-1) within 2 h (fast, T(3)) were tested to cold-anaesthetize farm raised Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man) (45-52 g) in each case from 25degreesC down to 15+/-1degreesC in a refrigerated chilling tank, provided with aeration. The cold-anaesthetized prawns subjected to each chilling rate were packed in an insulated cardboard box (triplicate) between two layers of moist and chilled (2-3degreesC) sawdust, and kept inside a chilled storage cabinet at 15+/-1degreesC, for set durations of 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 h. Survival was determined by revitalizing the prawns in aerated water with an initial temperature of 20degreesC, which was raised to 29+/-1degreesC within 3 h. The experiment was repeated using berried females acclimated to brackishwater of 12 g L(-1) salinity and the percentage survival recorded after live storage for durations ranging from 6 to 24 h at intervals of 3 h. Statistically valid safe durations for obtaining 100% survival of the cold anaesthetized and live stored prawns were determined using probit analysis at the three chilling rates tested, and were found to be 7.39, 6.98 and 4.54 h in the case of adult prawns, and 7.87, 8.17 and 6.43 h for berried females for T(1), T(2) and T(3) respectively. For practical purposes, the durations that yielded 95% survival rates were computed to be 16.47, 12.14 and 8.35 h in the case of adult prawns and 18.49, 19.02 and 11.11 h for berried females for T(1), T(2), and T(3) respectively. The berried prawns revitalized after live storage were incubated in tanks and the zoea larvae reared up to postlarvae (PL-5), and compared against a control. No significant difference was found in larval hatch fecundity, survival rate and the production of PL L(-1) between the treatment and control, indicating that the method of cold anaesthetization and live storage of berried prawns could be used for successful transportation of broodstock.
