Post-harvest quality of freshwater prawns, part 2
Freshwater shrimp can contain pathogenic bacteria that cause illness unless care is exercised by producers, retailers and consumers. Many of the human pathogens can survive frozen storage, but are killed or inactivated by thermal processes.

Inbreeding affects growth, survival, reproduction of Pacific white shrimp
The Maricultura del Pacífico hatchery in Mexico uses two-stage selection that controls the pedigree of every animal to minimize inbreeding.

Post-harvest quality of freshwater prawns, part 1
Spoilage in freshwater prawns is endogenous rather than exogenous and results from proteolytic enzymes in the cephalothorax.
