from low-salinity water farming ponds were carried out in laboratory. The prawns were reared under different salinities of 1, 8, 15, 23, and 30. Female unilateral eyestalks were sheared to promote maturation. The water temperature for the male shrimps was set at (27±0.5). The sexual development, spawning, fertilization, and hatching rates of the parents were investigated. The female gonads matured in all five salinity conditions; the proportion of mature females in salinity 1 was <10%; in salinities 8 and 15 it was 70%, with low fertilization and no nauplius; and it was >76% in salinities 23 and 30, with low hatching rates. Histological examination revealed that ovarian development did not differ among the 8−30 salinity conditions. The male gonads also matured normally, but the speed of sexual development in salinities 23 and 30 was significantly faster than that in salinities 8 and 15(<0.05). As salinity decreased, the time required for male shrimp maturation increased. The spermatophores were fertilized and nauplius hatched in all salinities.
