Lobster is a seafood that is loved by many people around the world. Many people only eat fresh lobster when they visit regions known for their large lobster stocks, such as Maine and other parts of New England, or the province of Nova Scotia. Fish such as salmon or catfish are farmed to supply fresh seafood to parts of the world where they cannot be caught directly from the ocean. Lobster farming began in the early 20th century to meet the high demand for crustacean meat. Build lobster farms anywhere you like the size and supply.

Steps

1. 1 Find a suitable place. To create a thriving lobster farm, you need space to build several feeders - underwater plantations. The important elements of the farm are: clean water, free of pollution and waste, flat terrain for installing feeders. It's also important to free up enough space for the lobsters. Lobsters can feed on each other while their shells are forming if they feel that the feeder is too tight. Make sure there is enough space to accommodate enough feeders to not overwhelm the lobster environment.
2. 2 Install feeders. Provide a good habitat for your lobsters by installing some clean feeders on your farm. They will not only attract lobsters to the farm, but also protect them from predators from the outside world and from each other. Place the troughs back-to-back, in even rows, so the lobsters can easily make their way to them.
3. 3 Provide good filtration. To protect lobsters from diseases that can quickly spread throughout the farm, purify the water. The best way to prevent disease is to clear waste from feeders. The automatic filtration system will ensure regular waste cleaning. The bio-filtration system will leave waste in the water, but convert it into less toxic nitrates that are not harmful to lobsters.
4. 4 Buy maggots. You can find suppliers of lobster larvae at nurseries or fish farms in Canada and the north Atlantic coast. After the lobster hatches from its shell, it will be small in size, with large eyes and a slender body. It is a larva and must go through 4 stages before it looks like a lobster.
5. 5 Feed the lobsters. Maintain their health and growth by feeding them regularly. In the wild, they eat small crustaceans, molluscs and fish. You can purchase suitable food from a maggot supplier. Lobster mixes are developed in Norway. On the farm, you can feed the lobsters with cod.

Tips

• Lobsters prefer to swim near the surface of the water, especially in the larval stage. This makes them easy prey for birds. Build a farm away from trees, or place nets to keep out birds.
• Build a farm near a lobster grub vendor. This will reduce the risk of larvae dying during transport, and your lobsters will not be under stress for long.
