School prawn (Metapenaeus macleayi)

School prawn (Metapenaeus macleayi) is one of prawn species in Australia with farming potential.

We sell School Prawn (Metapenaeus macleayi) postlarvae as "PL10" (10 days old postlarval), which is about 25 days from the spawning depend on temperature. At this stage its length will reach 5mm.

For long distance travel, we pack the "PL10" in oxygenated plastic bag with seawater and then box them in foam box with a bag of ice to keep them cool. We normally pack 10,000 "PL10" per box depend on traveling time.

For short distance travel, we put "PL10" in a transporter tank fitted with oxygen or air supply and then truck them to the farm.
