DID YOU KNOW?

Prawns are crustaceans from the order Decapoda, meaning 'ten-legged' (or technically, 'ten-footed'). Their sweet taste and firm texture make them ideal for many dishes, and they are sold fresh or frozen, raw or cooked. Wild prawns are fished all over the world, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Indian Oceans. More than half of wild-caught prawns in Australia are now MSC certified.

Wild prawns are fished all over the world, in the Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic and Indian Oceans. More than half of wild-caught prawns in Australia are now MSC certified.

Australia's prawn fisheries have developed a range of bycatch reduction devices to reduce the amount of other fish and marine species caught in prawn trawling nets, including turtle excluder devices (TEDs) which allow turtles, sharks and rays to safely escape from nets.

More than half of wild-caught prawns in Australia are now MSC certified. This is important, as in many cases they are found in areas of particular ecological significance, and fishing methods must not damage the delicate environmental balance.
