0.133µg/g found in the study. WHO suggested the Maximum limits

µg/g, 1 µg/g and FAO suggested the Maximum limits Cu, Zn and Cd
for prawn are 10 µg/g, 1000 µg/g and 0.2 µg/g.
4 CONCLUSION
It is necessary to give more attention to the quality and safety aspects
of prawn products related to the harvesting, handling, processing and
packaging. Now-a-days the freshwater prawn is creating a good
market as a new product and test to the foreigner. This exportable
product has a great chance to earn a lot from international market.
Freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) prefers for its taste,
size and color. Lack of proper knowledge, negligence about sanitation
and quality related factors at different stages of handling,
transportation and processing results low graded frozen prawn and
huge qualitative and quantitative losses. So, we should concern about
the quality and safety aspects of fresh and frozen prawn. Low quality
Prawn products are not only a great concern of food security and
public health but also of serious national economic loss. If the defects
and hazards of Prawn are controlled, then export of Indonesia would
be increased.
