Prawn Park Celebrates Baby Boom
We’re thrilled to share some very exciting news from our prawn farm!
Recently, 69 new mother prawns spawned an amazing amount of baby prawns! With this new batch of baby prawns coming through the hatcheries we are thrilled to say that we are on course in increasing our numbers following issues that we saw during covid.
“We are very excited to see so many babies come through this Larvae run, and it’s fantastic to see that our prawn numbers are steadily increasing,” said Khalid, Biologist and Prawn Specialist. “With the prawn population on the up, we are optimistic our numbers will continue to grow with the success of this batch. The babies are already thriving now they have moved to their freshwater pools, we’re expecting them to grow quickly and be ready for the fishing pools in no time!”
Win, General Manager at Huka Prawn Park echoed this excitement “The birth of our recent baby prawns is an incredible achievement for our farm and the prawn park as a whole, and it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team. We’re looking forward to a very successful year, and with this new batch, we’re optimistic about the fishing pools and what we can offer our customers in the coming months. It’s a great way to start the year, and we can’t wait to see how these prawns grow and thrive!”
Huka Prawn Park is buzzing with excitement as this baby boom sets the stage for what looks to be a productive and prosperous year ahead. We’ll continue to monitor the prawns’ growth closely and ensure they receive the best care, so we can look forward to even more success in the future!
Stay tuned for more updates on our prawn park’s progress as we continue to nurture the next generation of prawns!
