description: In August 2019, giant freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were collected from farming ponds in Jiashan county, Zhejiang Province, China, which were stocked for 70 to 80 days. 15 GRD-affected giant freshwater prawns, ranging from 6.0 to 6.8 cm of body lengths, were collected from diseased farm ponds with typical GRD. The clinical signs of prawns with GRD included smaller body size, hard shell and precocious sexual maturity. 15 healthy ones were acquired from the farm without GRD, which had similar seedling release times, appropriate feeding and management methods. The body lengths of healthy ones were 8.2 to 9.0 cm. The gill, hepatopancreases and muscle tissues of all prawns were immediately dissected and stored separately in RNALater before transferring them to a freezer set at −80°C.
