Effect of Holding and Packing Conditions on Hemolymph Parameters of Freshwater Prawns, <i>Macrobrachium rosenbergii</i>, during Simulated Waterless Transport
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Preliminary market research has identified an unfulfilled market potential for live freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii , in urban areas of the USA and Canada. Truck transport is effective but requires shipment of large numbers of prawns to be economically feasible. Most retail markets are ill‐equipped to hold large quantities for subsequent live sales. Air‐freight of smaller quantities has potential but water weight limits its application. Shipping of live aquatic animals in waterless environments has been reported for some finfish and crustaceans. This project utilized biochemical characteristics of prawn hemolymph as measures of sublethal stress during simulated transport. Six trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of different variables involving preshipment holding conditions, acclimation prior to shipping, and conditions inside the shipping container. Trial 1 compared animals shipped in water with those in a non‐aqueous environment. Trial 2 compared three chilling rates (slow chill, fast chill, and no chill). Trial 3 evaluated different holding protocols including fed versus unfed, reduced pH, increased water hardness, and salinity. Trial 4 evaluated the addition of ammonia scavengers to the transport containers. Trial 5 evaluated the use of carbon dioxide scavengers and an anesthetic, AQUI‐S®. Trial 6 used the best results of Trials 2–5 in a combination of “Best Management Practices” (BMP) over extended time periods. Treatments had either three or four replications using Styrofoam boxes, each packed with six individually tagged prawns. Presoaked wood‐shavings and ice packs were used to keep the boxes moist and cool. The boxes were then sealed in individual oxygenated plastic bags. Trials 1–5 were conducted for 16 h and Trial 6 had separate boxes which were opened at 16, 24, and 32 h. Baseline hemolymph samples were taken prior to packing and from prawn alive at the end of all trials. Hemolymph variables included pH, pO 2 , pCO 2, HCO 3 , tCO 2 , calcium, ammonia, osmolality, glucose, lactate, total protein, magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Percent survival and weight loss were also measured. Results of Trial 1 indicated that compared to transport in water, non‐aqueous environment significantly increased ( P ≤ 0.05) hemolymph levels of CO 2 and ammonia, and significantly reduced levels of oxygen. In Trial 2, survival in the Slow Chill treatment was significantly higher than in the No Chill treatment, although hemolymph characteristics were not impacted. In Trial 3 prawns held in tanks with added salt (17 ppt) had the highest survival and lowest hemolymph concentration of ammonia and partial pressure of CO 2 . The ammonia scavengers in Trial 4 had no significant impact on survival or hemolymph variables. The CO 2 scavengers and anesthetic in Trial 5 had no statistically significant impact on survival. The BMP of Trial 6 consisted of, in the following order, holding in 17 ppt marine salt mix, slow chilling, anesthetic (AQUI‐S) dip, and adding limewater (Ca(OH) 2 + H 2 O) to the shipping box as a CO 2 scavenger. In Trial 6, after 32 h of simulated “waterless” transport, prawns in the BMP treatment had significantly higher survival (96%) than prawns in the Control treatment (58%). The BMP prawns also had significantly higher partial pressures of oxygen and lower partial pressures of CO 2 in the hemolymph.
