feeding habits

The new prawn is an omnivorous shrimp, and its feeding habits vary with different growth and development stages, and its feeding mode gradually changes from filter feeding type to predation type.

Flea-like larvae begin to feed, and at the larval stage, they mainly feed on plankton. In natural sea areas, they often feed on diatoms, green algae, shellfish larvae and rotifers. When artificially raising seedlings, substitute feeds such as egg yolk, soybean milk, yeast, crab meat and crab paste, unicellular algae and rotifers can be used.

In natural sea areas, adult shrimp mainly prey on benthos, including small benthic crustaceans, polychaetes, small shellfish and benthic algae, and also eat benthic plankton and swimming organisms, which is omnivorous and requires great plasticity in food. Artificial farming often feeds rice bran, bean cake, bran, peanut cake, small shellfish, small miscellaneous fish and shrimp and compound feed.
