This study explored the viability of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii, locally known as ulang) culture in six regions in the Philippines. Twelve farmer-cooperators employed ulang monoculture and eight employed ulang-tilapia polyculture. In Region 8, all farmer-cooperators conducted both monoculture and polyculture systems. This paper is focused on comparing ulang monoculture and ulang-tilapia polyculture.
