The objective of transporting prawns will dictate the best way to transport them. Post-harvest prawns are commonly transported alive directly to markets or restaurants. This practice guarantees maximum freshness of the harvested animals up to the final sale.

However, prawns transported between farms, from wild environment to hatcheries, or between states and /or countries also need the best practices of transportation to ensure good health of animals.

Prawns, like all animals, get stressed during transportation. Ideally, stress on prawns should be minimised during transport to avoid problems at their final destination. Size of animals, species and length of journey are important factors to consider before choosing the ideal transportation method. Temperature and dissolved oxygen are the two main parameters which must be checked constantly and improved prior and during transportation.

"UAB scientists discovered that one species could feed another from its waste, without needing to use traditional food at all."

In this method of polyculture, scientists say "The sea urchin pellets are full of nutrients and healthy bacteria and, … help shrimp grow faster and larger than they did when consuming shrimp feed alone."

An introduction to conservation medicine & the role of aquatic veterinarians in rehabilitating wild fish stocks and managing fish health issues.

Duration: 1.5 hour

Career level: All Audiences

About this event

In an aquatic habitat fish populations are subjected to a multitude of stressors, including disease. Over the last three decades, bacterial and viral pathogens have decimated fish populations throughout the world. Sometimes this results in large numbers of dead fish in marine and freshwater environments. In some cases high mortality may take a species to the brink of extinction. This presentation gives an overview of conservation medicine as an emerging veterinary discipline with an emphasis on the role played by aquatic veterinarians in rehabilitating wild fish stocks and managing fish health issues.
