[0025] To better understand the technical content of this invention, specific embodiments are provided below to further illustrate the invention.

[0026] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the embodiments of this invention are all conventional methods.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified, all materials and reagents used in the embodiments of this invention are commercially available.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] Select healthy, lively adult giant freshwater prawns with no surface injuries, weighing approximately 2.2–2.5 g. Temporarily raise them in a pond at a female-to-male ratio of 1:1 for 5 days, with a stocking density of 15 prawns / m². 2 The shrimp were fed formulated feed at 6% of their body weight, twice a day, in the morning and afternoon. Uneaten feed and feces were promptly removed. Water salinity was controlled at 24–26, pH at 7.8–8.1, and dissolved oxygen at greater than 7 mg / L. Five experimental groups were established for broodstock rearing. The control group was fed only formulated feed for giant freshwater prawns (Yangzhou Hongda Feed Co., Ltd., adult shrimp feed), with water salinity controlled at 24–26, pH at 7.8–8.1, temperature at 27–28℃, and dissolved oxygen at greater than 7 mg / L. No water flow or temperature acclimatization or nutritional fortification was performed.

[0030] Experimental Group 1: Water flow acclimatization and temperature acclimatization were carried out by adjusting the water flow speed. First, the water flow speed of high speed acclimatization (1.2-1.5 m / s) was used for 7 days, and then the water flow speed of low speed acclimatization (0.4-0.6 m / s) was used for 7 days. Water flow acclimatization was carried out 4 times a day for 15 minutes each time.

[0031] Meanwhile, during the water flow acclimatization process, a nutrient fortifier was added for enhanced feeding, with the amount of nutrient fortifier being 1% of the weight of the broodstock shrimp.

[0032] The nutritional fortifier is a mixture of 28 parts taurine, 17 parts arachidonic acid, 12 parts phosphatidylserine, and 52 parts cuttlebone powder.

[0033] The initial temperature is set at 18℃, and the temperature is increased by 0.5℃ per day. When the temperature reaches 22℃, the temperature increase is stopped and maintained at 22℃ for 3 days. Then, the temperature is increased by 0.5℃ per day until it reaches 25℃. When the temperature is stopped, the temperature is maintained at 25℃ for 4 days. Finally, the temperature is increased by 0.5℃ per day until it reaches 28℃, until the target broodstock shrimp are harvested.

[0034] Experimental group 2: adjusting water flow velocity to conduct water flow and temperature domestication, setting water flow velocity 0.4-0.6 m / s, conducting water flow domestication for 14 days, conducting water flow domestication 4 times per day, each time for 15 min;

[0035] Meanwhile, when conducting water flow domestication, feeding nutrition enhancer to conduct intensive feeding, the feeding amount of nutrition enhancer is 1% of the weight of parent shrimps;

[0036] The nutrition enhancer is composed of 28 parts of taurine, 17 parts of arachidonic acid, 12 parts of phosphatidylserine and 52 parts of cuttlefish powder;

[0037] Setting initial temperature as 18℃, increasing water temperature by 0.5℃ per day, increasing water temperature to 28℃, until harvesting target parent shrimps.

[0038] Experimental group 3: adjusting water flow velocity to conduct water flow and temperature domestication, setting water flow velocity 0.4-0.6 m / s, conducting water flow domestication for 14 days;

[0039] Feeding nutrition enhancer and compound feed at the same time, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, the feeding amount of nutrition enhancer is 1% of the weight of parent shrimps;

[0040] The nutrition enhancer is composed of 28 parts of taurine, 17 parts of arachidonic acid, 12 parts of phosphatidylserine and 52 parts of cuttlefish powder;

[0041] Setting initial temperature as 18℃, increasing water temperature by 0.5℃ per day, increasing water temperature to 22℃, stopping increasing water temperature, maintaining 22℃ water temperature for 3 days, then increasing water temperature by 0.5℃ per day, increasing water temperature to 25℃, stopping increasing water temperature, maintaining 25℃ water temperature for 4 days, finally increasing water temperature by 0.5℃ per day, increasing water temperature to 28℃, until harvesting target parent shrimps.

[0042] The experiment was conducted for 20 days, after which the feeding was stopped for 24 hours, 10 female shrimps were randomly selected, the ovary volume, size and color characteristics were observed, the ovary tissue was taken out, the gonadosomatic index was calculated, the gonadosomatic index GSI = ovary fresh weight / body weight x 100%, according to the following ovary development period, the female shrimps were classified, the maturation rate was calculated, the maturation rate = the number of female shrimps developed to phase VI at the same time / total number, the synchronous maturation rate = the number of female shrimps in phase VII at the same time / total number.

[0043] Phase I: the ovary is small and not easy to observe;

[0044] Phase II: the ovary can be observed with the naked eye, the volume is 2-3 times larger than that in phase I;

[0045] Phase III: the ovary is obvious and very easy to observe, the whole is milky white;

[0046] Stage IV: The ovary volume is increased, and the whole ovary is milky white, not transparent, and a small amount of yellowish white;

[0047] Stage V: The ovary is obvious, and a large amount of yellowish white is present;

[0048] Stage VI: The ovary is obvious, and presents dark green, not transparent, and ovules are present;

[0049] Stage VII: The ovary has developed maturely, covers the stomach, presents dark green and golden brown, and mature ovules are visible;

[0050] Stage VIII: The ovary has ovulated, and is translucent.

[0051] Table 1: Effects of different treatments on ovary development of female prawns

[0052] Group GSI / % Stage Ⅲ Stage Ⅳ Stage Ⅴ Stage Ⅵ Stage Ⅶ Stage Ⅷ Maturity rate Synchronous maturity rate Experimental group 1 0.631 0 0 0 1 8 1 100% 80% Experimental group 2 0.540 0 0 1 1 5 3 90% 50% Experimental group 3 0.481 0 0 3 3 4 0 70% 40% Control group 0.412 0 1 3 4 2 0 60% 20%

[0053] As shown in Table 1, the ovary development of female prawns is changed to different degrees after different treatments. The mature rate of female prawns in experimental group 1 reaches 100%, and the synchronous mature rate is 80%, which indicates that water flow acclimation by adjusting water flow speed and temperature acclimation, and combined with intensified feeding of the nutritional enhancer during water flow acclimation, are beneficial to accumulation of nutritional substances in the hepatopancreas tissue of female prawns, and promote synchronous development and maturation of the ovary; the mature rate of female prawns in experimental group 2 is 90%, but the synchronous mature rate is low, which is 50%, and the number of female prawns in stage VIII is relatively large, which also indicates that appropriate water flow acclimation and temperature acclimation form an environment suitable for development of female prawns, which causes the female prawns to grow and develop too fast, and the ovary development is not synchronous; the synchronous mature rate of female prawns in experimental group 3 is 40%, which indicates that the nutritional enhancer can improve the resistance of female prawns during water flow acclimation combined with intensified feeding, and then promote energy intake of female prawns under environmental stress, accelerate synthesis and accumulation of nutritional substances required for development of the ovary, and improve the ovary development.

[0054] Example 2

[0057] Meanwhile, the nutritional enhancer is fed during water flow acclimation, and the feeding amount of the nutritional enhancer is 1% of the weight of the parent prawns;

[0058] The nutritional enhancer is composed of 28 parts of taurine, 17 parts of arachidonic acid, 12 parts of choline chloride and 12 parts of cuttlebone powder;

[0060] Through detection, the GSI is 0.614%, and dead prawns appear.
