North Bay’s third lobster hatchery is designed for efficiency throughout the whole system.
Lobster Cube is based on a square grid with each tray holding 100 lobsters and the whole unit holding 2000 lobsters, making it easy for operators to manage. The system operates on a single pump allowing automatic bath or continuous feeding. A new innovation allows for circulating water to be re-oxygenated during all modes of operation.
The new Lobster Cube has two options: Manual and automatic valves.
Between 1 to 10 lobster cubes can be integrated into a single system with no resetting of water flows or individually closing feed cycles. The system currently comes with trays which hold 100 juvenile lobsters each, and North Bay Innovations designed two additional tray variants to accommodate lobsters to a larger size.
