Spiny lobster aquaculture development in Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia : Proceedings of the International Lobster Aquaculture Symposium held in Lombok, Indonesia, 22–25 April 2014
2015
Jones, Clive
Development of spiny lobster aquaculture is of increasing interest around the world, as demand increases and capture fisheries supply decreases. There have been two primary sectors of research and development activity: firstly utilizing natural settlement of lobster seed, and secondly developing hatchery technology. Ultimately the two sectors will merge when hatchery technology is fully commercialized and the price of hatchery-produced seed is equivalent to that of the natural supply. This report provides a summary of information presented at a lobster aquaculture symposium held in Lombok, Indonesia, from 22–25 April 2014. The symposium represented the findings of the ACIAR project SMAR/2008/021: ‘Spiny lobster aquaculture development in Indonesia, Vietnam and Australia’, and identified knowledge gaps that require further research and development. The project had an industry development focus, and the Symposium provided an opportunity for input from research scientists, extension staff, government policy makers and managers, and lobster fishers and farmers to discuss industry development and identify key issues that further research could address to progress the lobster aquaculture industry’s expansion and improved productivity and viability.
