3. When does shrimp lay eggs?

River shrimp can lay eggs 3 to 4 times a year. From mid-April to early May, when the water temperature is above 15℃, sexually mature female shrimps begin reproductive molting, and the entire molting process can be completed in about 2 minutes. After molting, the abdomens of female and male shrimps are relative to each other and the mating time lasts about 5 minutes. 3 to 10 hours after mating, female shrimps hold eggs, and the color of the eggs is yellow. The amount of eggs held varies with the size of the parent shrimps. Large individuals hold more eggs, and small individuals hold fewer eggs, ranging from 500 to 2000 eggs. During the period when female shrimps hold eggs, the first pair of walking legs often extend between the egg masses to remove impurities and necrotic eggs, and the swimming legs often swing to drive the water flow so that the eggs can get enough oxygen. The hatching of eggs is related to water quality factors such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen content, and transparency. Below 35℃, the higher the water temperature, the shorter the incubation period, generally 11 to 15 days. After hatching, the eggs develop into young shrimps, and one parent shrimp eventually "holds" 50 to 200 eggs, that is, the reproductive survival rate is about 10%. After the young shrimp leave the mother's body, they quickly enter their first molt. Their growth rate increases significantly after each molt. Generally, it takes more than four molts to develop into adult shrimp.
