Amine Effects on Aggression in the Giant Tropical Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii

  • Conference paper
The Crustacean Nervous System

Abstract

In the crayfish, relative status can be quite stable when previously isolated animals are paired for the first time, as long as they are not exposed to a different rival (Bovbjerg 1953; Lowe 1956; Krasne et al. 1997). However, if exposed to a new rival, status can change depending primarily on the body/claw size of the new rival and the prior experience of both animals (review in Atema and Cobb, 1980). In this type of model system, physiological and molecular changes associated with the status of an individual need to be observed during defined windows of time following periods of interaction among naive animals. This is not the case in the giant tropical freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii, where social status is relatively fixed.
