At a new pilot farm in Malaysia, Lobster Harvest, a Western Australia-based lobster farming company, plans to grow hatchery-produced slipper lobster, Thenus orientalis in floating sea cages, and test its hatchery-produced spiny lobster Panulirus ornatus.
“We ran our production run of slipper lobsters towards the end of last year,” Terry Burnage, general manager at Lobster Harvest, told IntraFish. “We have exported 14,000 -15,000 juveniles to Sabah in Malaysia, where we have cage farms.”
The lobster farming technology is the result of more than 10 years of research and development (R&D), initially carried out by the MG Kailis Group, one of Australia’s largest private marine and seafood companies, until Lobster Harvest’s incorporation in 2007.
