.photos by Charles WeibelOOOn a nice fall day, if the nets don't catch the prawns, there's only one way to get them -- down and dirty. |
Latoyah Elliott, a KSU senior, displays a prawn fresh from an ARC pond. |
KSU's research with three prawn strains could assist local prawn farmers by identifying the fastest growing, most uniform in size, largest size overall, and fewest animals that are not marketable. The data may also identify prawns most resistant to poor water quality conditions or resistant to potential diseases. |

WATCH THAT PRAWN! Dr. Xiong brought his class, including former KSU student Jamie Greene (3rd from rt), to study prawns.
The class, from UK's Animal and Food Sciences Dept., was collecting prawns to determine if there were differences in sensory and textural analyses among the three strains from Myanmar, Texas, and Hawaii. |
