 Picking up the pieces
Well we are slowly making progress, We moved out all the juvenile prawn we could but we suffered heavy losses. We were able to bring up enough Freshwater prawn from the hatchery in texas to satisfy just about all of farmers orders that we had. Aquaculture of texas  will be able to bring up more prawn in June to fulfill any remaing orders. So email us if you need prawn. We will only have prawn for pick-up in Virginia.

Juvenile Freshwater prawn(macrobrachium) are stocked in our tanks in March-April and ready to move to grow out ponds in June.
Prawn are then fed a diet of high protein feed in pristine waters to grow a natural and Sustainable product.
Ponds are drain harvested in September and early October.
Harvests as high as 1,000 lbs per acre are possible.
