Information about Tiger Prawn (Penaeus esculentus):
|
Tiger Prawns are generally brown with dark banding. Their rostrum and antennae
are also banded.
Brown Tiger Prawns are endemic to Australian waters. Adult Tiger Prawns are found
to depths of 200 metres, but are mostly trawled in 10-20 metres of water over coarse
sediments.
Juvenile Tiger Prawns are found in shallow waters associated with seagrass beds,
sometimes on top of coral reef platforms.
Brown Tiger Prawns spawn in the Gulf of Carpentaria throughout the year with a peak
between July and October, in both inshore and offshore areas. A female tiger prawn
with a 39mm carapace length produces about 364,000 eggs.
Tiger prawns feed primarily at night. Their diet consists of molluscs,
crustaceans and polychaete worms.
Tiger Prawns are prey to squid, cuttlefish and a variety of fish. Estuarine fish
such as barramundi and king
threadfin and catfish are
major predators of juvenile tiger prawns.
Most of the Tiger Prawn catch in Australia is exported, with Japan the major
destination. Tiger prawns are caught at night using demersal otter trawls.
Beam trawls are used in some areas of the east coast fishery.
