Lobster Aquaculture
Lobster aquaculture is the farming of lobsters in controlled environments, such as tanks or ocean enclosures. This method helps meet the growing demand for lobsters while reducing pressure on wild populations. Farmers typically raise juvenile lobsters, known as lobster seed, until they reach market size.
The process involves careful monitoring of water quality, temperature, and food supply to ensure healthy growth. Lobster aquaculture can also include breeding programs to enhance stock resilience and sustainability. By cultivating lobsters in a managed setting, this practice aims to provide a steady supply while promoting environmental conservation.
