Lobster farming in Indonesia
A multinational project in Lombok, Indonesia, is focused on the identification and monitoring of improved seed collection and grow-out production methods for spiny lobsters.
Innovation & Investment
Following earlier work in southwestern Norway that achieved semi-commercial production of European lobsters, a project has received grant support to develop commercialized land-based recirculating aquaculture of lobsters utilizing geothermal water sources in Iceland.

Intelligence
Although lobster farming is already established in Indonesia, improvements in feed and nutrition, and seed collection would help the industry expand. The diet of trash fish fed to developing lobsters generates waste and is not conducive to good hygiene or growth.
Intelligence
Lobster cage culture has great potential in Indonesia. The current industry consists of about 1,000 small-scale farm units, many of which raise lobsters in polyculture with seaweed and grouper.
Health & Welfare
A new scalable modular concept for lobster culture developed in Norway relies on automation to perform most production procedures.
Innovation & Investment
An intensive-culture recirculation system for farming European lobsters has been developed, with a pilot installation in Norway.
