One of world's biggest prawn farms for NT

THE NT and federal governments have given the green light to a major prawn farming operation that could expand Australia's production capacity by 20 times.

THE Northern Territory and federal governments are fast-tracking what could be one of the world's largest prawn farms by granting it major project status.

IF it is approved, the $1.45 billion Project Sea Dragon would expand Australia's prawn production by 20 times to 100,000 tonnes per year.
