Yes, prawns do moult as part of their growth process. They shed their exoskeleton to allow for an increase in size, a process known as ecdysis. This typically occurs several times throughout their life cycle, enabling them to grow and develop. After moulting, prawns are vulnerable until their new exoskeleton hardens.
