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. By providing optimal conditions for growth, aquaculture can produce lobsters more sustainably. In lobster aquaculture, hatcheries are used to breed and raise juvenile lobsters, known as larvae. These young lobsters are then transferred to grow-out systems where they can thrive until they reach market size. This practice not only supports the seafood industry but also contributes to conservation efforts by alleviating overfishing in natural habitats.
