Farming fresh water PRAWNS (shrimp) in the U.S.A

Bubba would be very grateful and be talking about it all day long.

Fresh water prawn is one of the tastiest prawn in the world. They really popular and cheap in Southeast Asia. I am glad to see we can farm them here in US. I personally think they are better than crawfish. I think weather and temperature in the Florida would be better for the prawns to grow faster, since their weather condition similar to Southeast Asia.

on a school visit to the marine resources center we got to see freshwater shrimp they are breeding to see if they could be farmed and while I have never seen these shrimp available in groceries stores I have often wondered if anyone was farming them. The freshwater shrimp they were working with are huge! The breeding females weighed as much as 5 pounds. They looked bigger than most of the lobsters I see in tanks in the stores. They probably take longer to grow that big, which might be why you don't see them in the stores. Just one of these big shrimps would probably feed my family of four!

if you find a fertilized female with orange eggs: move her into a brackish aquarium tank so that when she releases her eggs the juveniles don’t die. (The larva need brackish water for the first 35-ish days of their lives or else they die) by brackish i mean that: the salinity needs to be 10-14 PPT (aim for 12) and that’s it. KT Prawns on youtube has a tank breeding guide. I bought some breeders and I am going to experiment growing them in Pennsylvania. on our homestead we have a 4 quarter acre ponds for bluegill, hybrid stripe bass, fathead minnows and pond snails (great supplemental protein and calcium for laying hens). One of our ponds has an aerator and solar heater so I think it would be ideal to experiment with. can’t wait try to this!

Thank you for sharing! I had no idea this was done in Kentucky. That's Awesome!!

Looks like hard work. Thank you for sharing. Love the video

Wow, very nice place and a lot of shrimp, thank you for sharing 🎉❤

Already excited for next year!

I loved every minute of this video. Really awesome.

We have these In Singapore for recreational prawn fishing ponds aka prawning. Tasty buggers, Chinese call them 大头虾，big head prawn. We usually just stick a bamboo skewer through them and BBQ them

Great Product. Tom Yum Guk would be epic, little garlic chopped within sauteed/ pan fried prawns is my fav

thank you for sharing have a great week ahead 🙏

Never knew about KY shrimp. Great video.

Thanks for sharing and explaining!

It would be great if 99% of the shrimp in the United States weren't "farm raised" in in SE Asia. I honestly have no problem paying more for anything if it's not raised in countries that have zero oversight when it comes to seafood farming. Hopefully more people get involved domestically with production, good job 👍

The holes made by the shrimps is normal in the wild.The hole serves as its nest to hide into; at times it feels any disturbance around them. It also provides safe haven to stay away from aggressive other shrimps.

you should try fishing for this prawns its super fun...we still do it in Malaysia

I would love to get into something like this!! Plus that looked good coming off that grill!!!

Amazing work.
