Seed Production
Giant freshwater prawns live in freshwater environments but their larvae require brackishwater to survive. These crustaceans are common in the tropical and sub-tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific region and are reported to grow to a length of 255 mm. Based on breeding trials, they take more than a year and a half to mature.
Why culture freshwater prawn?
- Can be a good alternative to tilapia and tiger shrimp
- Can be polycultured with carp, tilapia, catfish, etc.
- Established market niche and high export potential
- Native to the Philippines and other Asian countries
