Influence of salinity and geographical locations of Mekong river estuaries on the abundance and biomass of rough river shrimp Macrobrachium equidens Dana, 1852 (Crustacea, Palaemonidae)

Abstract

The Mekong river estuaries play a crucial role as a breeding ground for shrimp and various other valuable aquatic species. However, the scientific understanding of shrimp assemblages in this area remains limited. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the density and biomass of the rough river shrimp Macrobrachium equidens, a highly valuable shrimp species in terms of nutrition and economy...
