Summary
One batch of prawns. Three weeks. A pathogen I didn't know existed. In this episode, I share the WSSV crash that taught me why biosecurity is the single most important practice in freshwater prawn production — and the complete system for building it right from day one. We cover: zone mapping (public → farm → water zone), foot dip station setup and solution protocol, white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) — how it spreads, why it's untreatable, and how to prevent it, supplier selection and pathogen documentation requirements, 14-day quarantine protocol for all new stock, daily and weekly operational hygiene, and water source safety (well vs. surface vs. municipal). Episode 1 of the Farm Fresh Prawns series — Biosecurity Module. Subscribe to Farm Fresh Homestead for weekly backyard aquaculture and homesteading guides.
