To stop the spread of White
To stop the spread of White Spot disease, totally harmless to humans but would wipe out out prawn stocks

sadly it wouldnt stop most people...
especially as prawns for human consumption can often be cheaper than packets of bait prawns...

Just wondering how many
Just wondering how many people buy Australian bacon as well. I was surprised that approximately 90% of the bacon in the supermarkets is imported. The imported stuff is cheap as but the Aussie bacon tastes a shitload better imo.

We get a prawn trawler
We get a prawn trawler through here a couple of times a year so always get our raw prawns for eating from them. Usually end up as bait prawns as well towards end of box, cheaper than bait prawns.
