Synopsis
How to raise lobster fry in controlled settings and beat the odds of early life mortality. This practical guide summarizes the science and methods behind lobster culture, helping readers understand how researchers protect young lobsters and improve yields.
In clear, accessible language, the book explains the natural challenges lobsters face after hatching and how artificial culture can help surmount them. It covers the design of rearing systems, feeding strategies, water flow, and the stages of larval development, all framed around real-world experiments and results.
- Why the first weeks after hatching are the most fragile and how culture aims to protect fry during this critical period.
- How controlled currents, feeding schedules, and car design influence growth and survival.
- The progression through larval stages and the decision points for when to liberate or advance stock.
- Practical considerations like cost, equipment, and the trade-offs of different food options.
Ideal for readers of aquaculture, marine biology, and anyone exploring practical, scalable lobster farming.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book by the author explores a groundbreaking method of lobster culture, developed over ten years of continuous experiments and operations. The author, a member of the Rhode Island Commission of Fisheries, recognized that the critical period for lobsters is their larval stage when they are highly vulnerable and subject to significant mortality. This book presents a methodology that focuses on protecting the fry during this larval stage by providing a controlled environment that enables them to grow and develop through the critical period. The method involves confining the larval lobsters in cars or containers within the ocean itself and creating a continuous gentle current of naturally filtered and oxygenated seawater, which prevents cannibalism, provides constant access to food, and simulates their natural pelagic habitat. The author meticulously describes the apparatus, techniques, and findings from numerous experiments conducted to refine the method. This book highlights how this method can be used to rear lobsters through their larval stages in large numbers and at a scale that makes it a practical approach for lobster culture, with the potential to increase lobster populations and support the sustainability of this valuable marine resource. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781333686949_0
