prawn suppliers usually farm the most famous species among all, which is
the giant fresh water prawn species. This species has binominal name which is
the macrobrachium rosenbergii. There are several countries that become the
supplier countries of this prawn. For example during 2003 economic year, the
fresh water production which done globally, is as big as 280,000 tons. In those
amounts, the China is the biggest supplier which supplies around 180,000 tons,
then in the second place there are two countries which is the Thailand as well
as India and they supply the same amount that is 35,000 tons.
The only prawn, that the supplier farm
today coming from one genus that is the macrobrachium. Besides the macrobrachium
rosenbergii species, which is the most popular species and it is called Malaysian
prawn around the world. There are many other species in the genus that also
farmed by the fresh water prawn suppliers. For
example the macrobrachium nipponense which farmed in China and it is also
called as the oriental river. Then the macrobrachium malcolmsonii which farmed
in India in small number and it is also called as the moonson river. Among
those three species, the macrobrachium rosenbergii species cover around two

Actually there are around 200 species of
fresh water prawn which is inside the macrobrachium genus. They are all live in
the subtropical until tropical region and spread all around the world. Every
continent has this prawn species excluding the Antarctica as well as Europe.
But when speaking about product that is given
by fresh water prawn suppliers, then we must
speak more about the macrobrachium rosenbergii species as it is the species
that is most produced in the world. The reason might be because of the size
which is actually one of the largest in the macrobrachium genus. You should
know that even thought this prawn is living in the fresh water, but the larva
of this prawn is actually living in the brackish water. That is the reason why,
the female that carries the egg will swim down towards the brackish water
location. Then in this location, the egg will hatch and comes out from the
female body.
Actually the female prawn is still carrying
the fertilized prawn inside their body until it is ready to hatch in the
brackish water. The hatching time for every eggs are varied which can up to 3
weeks. Every year, the female prawn will carry around ten thousand until fifty
thousands of eggs into the brackish water in five trips.
After the egg is hatching then it will
comes out as zoeae larva as the first stage. There are several larva stages
that the fresh water prawn suppliers have to
take care of. Then in the last the planktonic stage, it will become juvenile.
In this stage, the prawn shrimp can be taken care in fresh water, thus it can swim
upwards towards the fresh water location where they will grow and mates.
The fresh water prawn itself is actually can
grow up to 12 inches in length. They usually have brownish color, but also have
other color naturally. Usually the smaller size prawn has green color with some
stripes on the body. Meanwhile the darker size prawn can have blue color to
even darker color. So the next time you see your fresh water prawn suppliers gives you prawn in different color,
then you should not have to worry as it can still be used in your restaurant dish
ingredient.
