The Tiger prawn is no different from any other Gulf shrimp or the Atlantic shrimp, it eats detritus or organic matter or small benthic organism that it can catch with its clawed legs like any other shrimp.
It is a fast growing shrimp and just grows to a large size. Fast growing and larger size are two characters that farmers want in a farmed animal. In the US numerous plants and animals have been imported and farmed, some imports have caused problems though, others have been introduced accidentally. The occurance of the Tiger Prawn in the Gulf shows that it has established a breeding population and its larval stages will be found more often in intertidal shallows area and the adult population will be seen offshore and come up in trawls.

The tiny parasite is only as large as a human red blood cell, but they can exist in the muscle fibre of their host in their millions, demanding more and more food to survive. This, in turn, makes the shrimp hungrier but less able to catch their traditional prey, turning their attention instead to their unsuspecting juveniles, which they gobble up quicker and in greater numbers than they would normally.
Fortunately for us, there is no indication that an infection in humans would lead to a great desire to dine on our own kind.
