ABSTRACT:
A method of artificially inseminating female shrimp with mature ovaries is disclosed wherein the fertilization rate of the eggs is increased and regulated. More specifically, a method of artificially inseminating shrimp is disclosed whereby female shrimp with mature eggs or ovaries and male shrimp with mature spermatophores are selected from those caught in the ocean or raised in a culture pond. The mature spermatophore of the male shrimp is removed, the sperm mass is collected from the spermatophore, and is attached to the female shrimp to effectively fertilize the mature eggs upon spawning in sea water.
