Their brilliant blue color comes from the plankton they eat in the natural ocean environment in which they are grown. New Caledonian Salt Prawns have only one growing season per year, nine months, during which their lifecycle can be closely watched by the native people of the region who work with and are managed by the Societe de Prodocteurs Aquacole Caledoniens.
