Our Giant Freshwater Prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) grow in the clean open waters of the lakes and reservoirs of Sri Lanka. Organic and free range, they feed on the natural abundant food there. Divron breeds the prawns to produce young post-larvae that are stocked in the lakes and reservoirs. When they have reached market size they are selectively wild caught by artisanal fishers.
Read Giant Freshwater Prawn ProfileEels are grown in open waters such as lakes and reservoirs of Sri Lanka. Organic and free range, they feed on the natural abundant food. Adults breed in the ocean and the juveniles, after 2-3 years, re-enter the freshwater through rivers and return to the lakes and reservoirs to grow into adults. Market size eels are selectively wild caught by artisanal fishers. Divron supplies the Shortfin Eel (Anguilla bicolor bicolor) and species of the Mottled Eel (Anguilla marmorata, bangalensis, nebulosa).
Read Eels ProfileFlower prawns (Panaeus semisulcatis) live on the sandy bottom of near-shore and lagoons of Sri Lanka. They are predominantly nocturnal and bury in substrate during day-time. They are sustainably wild caught by artisanal fishers and transported live to our holding facility.
Read Flower Prawn ProfileBlack tiger prawns (Panaeus monodon) live in the near shore marine areas of Sri Lanka. The juvenile grows in the lagoons estuaries and is often associated with mangroves. They are also the main species of prawn farmed in Sri Lanka. They are sustainably farmed by local farmers using natural methods or sustainably wild caught and transported live to our holding facility.
White prawns (Panaeus indicus) also known as banana prawns or India white prawns, live in the near shore marine areas of Sri Lanka. The juvenile grows in the lagoons and estuaries and the sub-adults migrate to sea living on sand or mud bottom from 2-90 meters depth. They can reach a size of 22 cm in length. They are sustainably wild-caught by local fishers and transported live to our holding facility.
Mud crabs (Scylla serrata) live in the near shore marine areas and coastal lagoons of Sri Lanka. Divron is working with local coastal communities to ensure sustainability of the population, encouraging gear such as traps and gill nets rather than bottom trawls. Divron is also creating a stock enhancement program and encouraging sustainable culture of mud crabs. They are harvested and transported to our live holding facility.

Divron is working with local coastal communities to ensure sustainability of the population, encouraging gear such as traps and gill nets rather than bottom trawls. They are harvested and transported to our live holding facility.
Read Blue Swimming Crabs ProfileDivron is working towards a sustainable fishery and export market of Spiny Lobster (Panularis spp.). Spiny lobster are available seasonally according to Sri Lanka fishery regulations. Divron does not purchase any undersize or egg-bearing females. Call us for availability.
Divron works with coastal communities developing a sustainable farming system for the mangrove oyster (Crassostrea madrasensis) and the tropical oyster (Crassostrea belcheri). Call us for availability.
Divron is working with coastal communities around shallow lagoons to develop a commercial sustainable production of shortneck and mangrove clams (Marcia opima, M. hiantina, Meretrix casta) and cockles (Gafrarium tumidum, Anadara granosa). Call us for availability.
