Rapid determination of the physiological temperature range for the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) by Meng-Li Tsai, Tsen-Chien Chen, Zi-Yan Chou, Wen-Yi Wu

“…However, detecting distress in benthic crustaceans, such as prawns, on the basis of external behavior is challenging because these organisms do not close their eyes, have expressionless faces, and often remain dormant with minimal body movement. To address this challenge, we developed a method for rapidly determining the physiological temperature range of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). …”
