HARVESTING OF ULANG

Harvesting of ulang can be done when they reached its marketable

size. After 4to 5 months of stocking, ulang can be harvested through
selective harvesting or total harvesting.

Methods of harvesting

1. Selective – this is done by seining the prawns using size 17 net.

The bottom of the seine net should be kept intact on the pond bottom
to avoid escape of the prawn.

2. Total harvesting – this is done by total draining of the pond. The

prawns can be collected in the catch basin manually by using scoop
net or with bare hands.

Marketable Sizes of Prawn After 4 To 5 Months Culture

Measurement of length is from tip of the rostrum to end of the telson
