Objective: To successfully incubate European and American lobsters by providing the optimum growth environment.
Stage: Prototype is in trials.
This is a new crustacea incubator designed for the European and American lobster, but with a small alteration as the unit can be switched between air and water as the circulation generator.
It’s also designed to work with the larvae of spiny lobsters and the Norwegian lobster. The incubator will take the lobsters through their first larval stages before being transferred to The Lobster Cube.
This system is specifically designed to work with The Lobster Cube and minimises system operations by using an air bar to generate micro-vortexes throughout the vessel, minimising contact between larvae.
North Bay’s Taurus Incubator is designed to be suitable the following species:
- European lobster
- American lobster
- Nephrops
- Palinuridae
