Yes, but did you hear this guy? They give the Eggers back to the fishermen instead of notching them and putting them back. I hope things changed in eight years.

This is a shining example of the potential of aquaculture. I interned with Mote and the FWC in research, and stock enhancement aquaculture with species like snook, tarpon and red drum down in Florida. After moving back to the northeastern US shellfish aquaculture was much more popular, so now I grow mussels and oysters. That job got me more involved in the fisheries, and I noticed a disdain for scientists amongst fisherman. Government funded stock enhancement that gets fisheries workers involved (and paid) is not only good for the environment and ecosystem, but also for the understanding of the need of these programs amongst those who work on the water. Great work guys!

Wonderful job that the hatcheries and the people involved are doing to help us with our food source.

Thank you for all that you all do. These creatures are misunderstood, and not appreciated. I keep a male American Maine Homarus Americanus as a pet, six months now, and his behavior is amazing...his alertness, awareness and manipulation of his territory, as well as his use of tools and cooperative effort with me in keeping his tank clean is jaw dropping.

Such a great project! I wish every country in the world would have initiatives like this one to help endangered species. Thanks for your work.

This organization is so inspirational. Its rlly rare to found these ppl that love environment that much

thank you for all your efforts

i love how theyve done a whole degree and now theyre paid to basically do the job of taking care of a pet fish science is so funny i love it

Super cool! Well done. Really want to see an update.

Bravo. Great work.

Wonderful work ❤️

Thanks for the work

This is so inspiring! I just hope the food you feed them is natural and what they would eat in nature and nothing else though. Keep up the good work!

Good job! Well done!

What a beautiful project ❤

beautiful work you guys are doing. i am thinking about building an aquaculture project for lobsters and would love to get some insight and help creating this project in ways that it is sustainable

Keep up the good works

Thanks, hopefully this brings down the price of lobster at the restraunt lol. But its really cool what your doing.

actually farmed costs about a buck more per 1lb lobster than fishing alone for the same size lobster ... also most lobster farms have a loss rate of 40 to 60 percent ... because like the chicken farmers they over crowd the pens they are growing in

Thank you so much!

Well done!

you guys are doing god's work

good job

very cool!

further to my recent post i am interested to know as to whether or not you release on the cornish south coast particularly Looe area ?

what i want to know is what do you feed them when they are in first stage???

What is the cost of such a program,to start up and implement?That would be a great addition to sandeigo California.What country are they in?That is so freAking smart,really I think that is smart and long term consideration for the fishery

So cool!!!

goodjob keep going guys

Id love to do something like this!

do you supply juvenile lobster throughout the coat of cornwall ?

Well done you guys! Thanks for sharing :-) Will do my best to make something like this from our side and share with you :-)

Great work guys. I only wish that we could do such work here in Perth, Western Australia.Also how feasible would it be to farm these lobsters to full market maturity.....I can see that for the future this would be the only sustainable way.

Thanks for your comment and curiosity on this. We aren't a lobster farm - the berried hens (pregnant lobsters) are brought in by fisherman who are already pregnant naturally in the wild. We then raise and release the babies through their most vulnerable life stages to be released back into the wild. This is the perfect sustainable stock enhancement project. See what is going on locally that you can get involved with!

What did they give it to eat? The red thingy

This is an honorable endeavor. I need to do stuff with my life too. Maybe ill raise crabs

Salt. Acidic water would decompose their shells within hours if not minutes. Crustaceans can’t live in acidic waters.

Is there any way I can get in on this cause I truly believe that lobsters replenishment into the seas will help the oceans with food in the future

how can i care for one at home as a pet instead of seeing it die else where can i feed it dead gold fish and worms how often do they eat? what water temp do they need my basement is like 60-65F will that be good enough do i need a certain filter or anything or just a bucket with some filter stuff in it and water pump it up to it and let it gravity feed back down and put air in the water will i need a bubbler too?

Brian Hunt I personally don't know much, but you'd need a tank that hits a max of 40C and a pretty powerful saltwater filter. They are bottom feeders, so fish might be a good choice

How can i support?

This is nice. Good work all round. The pirate music made me laugh. You're doing a great job. I'm a serial marine aquarium owner. But.. I'll always eat lobster. And seafood. Get them numbers up, I'm hungry!

So what do the fishermen think of your project? Can they see an increase in the number of lobsters they harvest now ?

How do they learn to find food if they have been with them in the beginning ?

Lobsters can take up to 8 years to reach adulthood. It would be a financial drain to farm them. Compare that to beef, which is much larger, yields way more meat, doesn't require all of this high tech machinery to raise, and is usually slaughtered between 12-22 months of age.

Don't they have the urge to just take one and then cook it?

ANA It’s a gold mine ready to be tapped. But it’s not as simple as raising them and waiting for them to grow. Already there is research on blue fin tuna and lobster farming. I wish I would have majored in aquaculture to research lobster farming

one fault in their plan ... lobsters are bottom feeders and need the fish and what not that eat most of the larvae lobster so the rest have something to eat ... they would be better off releasing half the brood as larvae and raise half ... then you not only provide food for after they are released but you also increase the living population while placing less strain on the food chain

The American lobster fishery doesn't need hatcheries you should take a lesson from them.

Bagpipes/music made it very difficult to watch this. Shrill. Jarring.

Those lobsters are probably too stupid to survive in the wild. Someone needs to study them after release and monitor them. Maybe tracm them.
