hi..I'm very tired and very excited when i have done my 1st harvest on Monday and Tuesday...
Conclusions: - duration of stocks - 4 month 3 weeks
- size average - 60gm
- total weight - 100kg @ 15% mortality
lesson learn:
- holding tanks should be wide and high supply of Dissolve Oxigen
- one day harvesting operations, not 2 preventing the prawn from molting
- bed of pond should be treated so harder surfaces at bottom
- plan and prepare earlier
- outlet pipe should be 2 or more
- 4 people to make sure smooth harvest
- nylon nets is more suitable
- grading the prawn to sizes when still in nets
- do not feed your stock 2 days prior harvest
very exciting event but no cameraman lah, I harvest myself. but got some low quality handphone vga pictures to be add up soon.
Wow .. hope those who interested in farming the udang galah should experience the joy soonest, catch the big blue claw with your own hand and palms! lots of scrath marks on my palm cause by their claw and knife like horn.
Thank you God.
mmm.. still no luck on getting a suitable land..the NS land scrap..johor land still not confirm..but thats life..I will push forward to get my 3rd batch PL stocks before october...
After attending the seminar, here is my conclusions:
- Always aware of your pond health eg. pH, alkalinity, salinity, dissolved oxigen...
- Treat the pond longer before stock for better survival rate of your PL
- Treat the ponds with antivirus and antibacteria
- Make sure the water source is clean and maintain the cleanliness and hygiene throughout your activities
- Prepare for the worst
- Treat the water periodically and systematically
- Learn from the experts and do not shy to ask any question
- Learn and identify your enemy
Happy farming of your udang galah / freshwater prawns!

here couple of pictures of my son and daughter holding 20-30gram of healthy freshwater prawn, fish from our pond in Mersing, enjoy..
It been a while since I wrote here..its been very busy with the kids holidays and trying to make all my business plan a reality..
By the way, here some tips especially for the wannabe freshwater prawn grower :
- Pond size - medium 50m x 50m or 30m x 60m, easier for harvesting
- dept - water depth 2-4ft
- bund - please allow 2-4ft above the water level
- bund sides - 25 to 45 degree angle, easier when harvesting and cleaning
- water outlet - 8 inch diameter UPVC pipes at the lowest point
- water inlet - 6 inch diameter UPVC pipes with some filters
- Main water channel/drain must provide enough volume for rainy season
- Allow 5-10 ft wide of common shared bunds - when the pond is side by side - for failsafe design and easy for you to manuver around your ponds
- lastly, please think of how you can channel your inlet water, either using pumps or gravity flow using dam/(empangan).
Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any question/soalan related to this topics...
I might change some of my udang galah business plan due to time factors and other business opportunity coming my way..but I will proceed with my existing ventures and will always write here in my blog..
