1. To evaluate the temperature stability of technically advanced live prawn (seafood) package design (prototype and finished item), under a range of storage, transport and climatic conditions.
2. To ascertain/confirm upper lethal temperature limit for kuruma prawns
3. Determine if modifications to the preparation and packaging operations are likely to improve the survival rate of packaging prawns from high ambient temperature growout conditions.
4. To establish the potential feasibility of transporting live kuruma prawns from one location to another to optimise growout conditions and optimise quality through climatic agistment.
