The marinated: no-shell prawns had a greater concentration
(P b 0.05) of sodium chloride than prawns from all other treatments
(Table 2). In addition, the marinated, shell-on prawns had
more (P b 0.05) sodium chloride than the salt acclimated treatments
(IO and SS +), which both had concentrations of 0.5%, and more(P b 0.05) sodium chloride than the freshwater prawns (Table 2). Inaddition, prawns from both salt acclimated treatments had a greater
(P b 0.05) amount of salt than the fresh water prawns. This indicates
that salt acclimation will increase salt concentration in prawn tissue
when compared to freshwater prawns but will not increase sodium
chloride percentage as much as marination.
