Delivery System

Udang Galah is a very sensitive creature when it comes to water quality. This includes oxygen, temperature and also pH. To transport live prawns from the farm to another destination of about 2-3 hours journey requires a handful of knowledge and patience if you dont want your prawns to arrive dead. We in TrueAqua have encounter many customers ranging from amateur to of 10 years experience in handling. The difference is too big and therefore we want to share a few tips for you out there who wants to do delivery of udang galah.

1) To carry 100kg or more udang galah you should use a pick up or a lorry or a van.
2) You should have a fibre tank with lid custom made for the delivery
3) DC blower which can be tapped from the vehicle's battery to supply air
4) Aeration system inside the fibre tank
5) Temperature indicator at the dash board - ideal temp is 13 degrees celcius
6) Loads of ice

To increase the area inside the tank and reduce stress, sometimes people used basket to create multiple levels for ther shrimp to sit. The shrimp will be in 'hibernate' mode when inside a very cold water and will not be active and aggresive, so less mortality is expected. Usually the soft shell will die so try to avoid to buy them in this situation. Maybe some pics below should help people to understand more on the delivery system.
