About Giant river prawn

Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a decapod crustacean in the family Palaemonidae. Published sources characterize its origin status as introduced attempt. Published Kauaʻi evidence documents the species from Kauaʻi. Evidence types include historical introduction. These records establish a documented Kauaʻi occurrence but are not automatically interpreted as a present-day abundance estimate. The documented Kauaʻi habitat context includes freshwater / aquaculture-associated historical introduction. For current-status context, documented historical Kauaʻi introduction record; establishment not supported by reviewed evidence. The available Kauaʻi evidence does not support adding island-specific claims about diet, reproduction, behavior, population size, or trend unless those points are stated in the cited sources, so they are not inferred here. Keeping the accepted taxonomic concept together with the dated occurrence evidence allows later surveys to distinguish historical documentation from contemporary status.
