Giant tiger prawns are longer than Australian fishermen's forearm

An Australian fisherman caught a giant tiger prawn weighing 300g and longer than a man's arm in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Kai Thomas fishermen photographed tiger shrimp lying on his forearm to celebrate, ABC announced on March 22. Andrew Prendergast, Austral Fisheries's northern branch manager, said Thomas caught shrimp very rarely.

"It's a pretty special shrimp. They're not our catch targets. We often catch them by accident and they're always bigger than other shrimp," Prendergast said.

Giant tiger shrimp, also known as giant tiger shrimp, often live off the north of Australia. Females can reach a length of 33cm and weigh up to 30 g.

Black tiger shrimp are sometimes used to promote breeding on shrimp farms due to the reproductive capacity of about one million in a year cycle, according to Prendergast. However, many fishermen catch tiger shrimp and choose to use them as food.
