This week’s photo comes from one of our producer partners, Lauren Farms. They specialize in the culture of freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) from egg to harvest at their 14 acre farm in Mississippi. They are at the forefront of the industry employing a contained aquaculture system that minimizes escapes, disease and pollution. Their sustainable farming practices have earned them a green 'Best Choice' ranking according to criteria developed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Keep up the great work, Lauren Farms!Thanks again for the recognition and support, FishWise!
