Hatching of Rock Lobster

AroDan · 31-03-2013, 08:33 PM

Any guru can help.

Was at this local super market and saw this female lobster hold eggs then I got this very crazy idea to breed/hatch rock lobster in captive. Too much time on hand. Haha

Anyone can share experience or links at any research sites or institution that have report on this?

The metamorphersis stages being the toughess to overcome in captivity breeding till today, the servival rate in the wild is merely 1~3 % taking nearly 15 years to grow to platable size. This's 1 pet project I'm oso looking forward to embark...

Do u guys know where I can buy live hatched brine shrimp? I use to buy frm this lfs at tampines but now they close down already.

Where is this lobster location? Even if not thinking of hatching the fries, it a good deed to buy and release it to a save place like labrador beach.

Im not sure if Im allowed to just release like that. It may harm the livestock that are already in that area.
