Prawn is the common name for a large or jumbo freshwater shrimp, also known as Macrobrachium Rosenbergii, Giant River Prawn, Giant Freshwater Prawn, Malaysian Prawn, Freshwater Scampi and Cherabin. Prawns are a coveted addition to aquaponics systems because they eat organic waste, including dead roots, flies and anything else that has sunk to the bottom of the tank to decay.Sadly, as much as Americans love to eat shrimp, many commercial shrimp farms depend on staggering amounts of antibiotics, fungicides, algaecides and pesticides that pollute the water and other marine life. Here at Live Aquaponics, we offer hormone-free, disease-free and GMO-free live Prawn. Since shrimp is a seafood favorite in America, adding live Freshwater Prawns to your system lets you know exactly what is in the food you are eating.Freshwater Prawns in AquaponicsSince Prawns are hardy and easy to grow, they will make a unique addition to your aquaponics system, increasing its efficiency along the way.Freshwater Prawns consume detritus, thereby helping to break down and convert organic matter into material that can be used by plants. They also eat snails and can be used to control or eliminate them in aquatic systems. Tropical Freshwater Prawns will survive water temperatures between 57° F and 105° F, with the optimum temperature range being 78° F to 88° F. While Freshwater Prawns live as long as three years, you can begin to harvest large prawns as early as five months of age.Freshwater Prawns are a tropical animal, and as such, they require warm water to survive. A correctly engineered, constructed and well-managed pond will result in a predictable harvest of about 1,000 to 1,200 pounds per acre of a large, highly valuable 10 count/pound whole shrimp.Prawn HousingPrawn housing doesn’t have to be costly; in fact, you can make it yourself.
