In British Columbia, recent efforts have been exerted on developing a culture system for a high value species, the Spot Prawn (Pandalus platyceros). Presently, the spot prawn is fished commercially at an annual rate of approximately 1500 tonnes. Management of the wild fishery is based upon maintaining a minimum threshhold number of �spawners� which will theoretically ensure a sustainable population level for future harvesting. The Spot Prawn is the largest of the prawn species of the west coast with females growing to a size as large as 23 cm in total body length. The natural range of this species is the North Pacific ocean, from Alaska down to San Diego, California in the east Pacific and the Sea of Japan through the Korea Strait in the west Pacific.
