Commercial Prawn Season

[slader99]

Is there an end day announced for the 2022 commercial prawn season? Or maybe it's already ended?

Tried searching for this info but all I can find is the typical 30-40 day timeline.

Cheers,

Prices seemed to tank last year. They had stock left from 2020 I think. Maybe the short season was planned to slow supply and keep prices up. Big Prawn is up to it's old games again
