After 10 years of careful breeding and research, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) scientists have created a larger tiger prawn which will reduce the need to import the popular seafood platter and barbecue food.
The scientists used DNA fingerprinting to identify the natural genetic traits or characteristics that are most desirable and favourable, such as faster growing, bigger size and better colour. Those prawns were then used to breed the larger Tiger prawns.
Bruce Lee, director of the CSIRO's Food Future Flagship, said: "You can now produce prawns, particularly at times of the year when you want them fresh. In Australia one would like to have fresh prawns is at Christmas time."

They will now need to develop giant barbies

Clearly the place is all kinds of awesome

South Africa have got the biggest prawns but no idea if they're tasty or not.

Plus they fight back so no chance of finding out either.

I'm pretty sure Crocodile Dundee would have that whipped and on the barbie in no time

Yes but where is he when you need him?
