Australian Prawn Farming

Australian prawn farming involves cultivating prawns in controlled aquatic environments, either in outdoor ponds, tanks, or Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS). The process includes selecting suitable sites, maintaining optimal water quality, and managing feeding and health to ensure healthy growth. Farmers carefully monitor water temperature, oxygen levels, and other factors to maximize production while minimizing disease risks. Prawns are harvested once they reach market size, providing a sustainable source of seafood. This industry supports Australia's economy with environmentally responsible practices, often emphasizing minimal ecological impact and adherence to strict biosecurity standards.
