Seafarms have finished harvesting of the current crop of Crystal Bay tigers and Crystal Bay bananas. There are no fresh prawns available until the next crop of tigers are harvest ready towards the beginning of October.

We expect that fresh Crystal Bay tiger supply will continue through until late October, followed by harvesting of fresh Crystal Bay banana prawns through November before Crystal Bay tigers start again in late November through Christmas and New Year.

Seafarms will commence harvesting of fresh cooked Crystal Bay tiger prawns from Friday 11th August and we will have a strong supply of 16-20/lb and 10-15/lb grades through until the end of August. Crystal Bay banana prawns will also continue until approximately the end of August, though as we are approaching the end of this current crop supply is now very limited.
xxxx
Following completion of the above crops in late August, we are currently anticipating a period of no supply of 4-5 weeks until our next crop of Crystal Bay tigers reaches optimal harvest size. During this time, Seafarms processing operations will undergo annual maintenance as well as the installation of a new grader.

Looking further ahead, Seafarms and GCMA Mossman are now fully stocked with tiger prawns for Christmas supply and growth is tracking well to date. We will continue to provide updates on these crops as they progress through their growout.

Fresh tiger and banana prawn supply this year for Easter is looking very weak and will be significantly less than what was available for the same period in 2016. A combination of the loss of product from the Logan River region, and very hot water temperatures in North QLD have combined to leave our current supply levels at historical lows.
