The Suwannee High Ag Department is raising fresh water shrimp (prawns) as an aquaculture project. This project will be a valuable learning experience as well as a fund-raiser and/or source of food for the upcoming FFA event.
The juvenile shrimp were shipped overnight from a hatchery in Texas and arrived at the SHS Land Lab Monday morning, March 23.
The shrimp were in bags inside of Styrofoam box coolers. After being acclimated to the water in the pond, the shrimp were then released. The shrimp will grow for a period of 3-4 months and will be harvested once they reach desired size.
Don Boyette, volunteer of the Land Lab, has been very instrumental in the project. He has worked long and hard to get this project up and running.
The shrimp will require optimum conditions and water quality to survive and grow properly. The water�s temperature, ph, dissolved oxygen, and nutrient level will have to be tested and monitored on a regular basis.
This project is sure to be an enjoyable learning experience for Agriculture students of Suwannee High.
