Broodstock System
Our unique Broodstock System is suitable for both European and American clawed lobster.Vertically stacked and highly space efficient, our Broodstock System is coupled with its own Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) and water heater/chiller, enabling users to extend the larval season by increasing or decreasing egg incubation time. A photoperiod manipulating light system can also be fitted as an extra, pending each customer’s requirement. The Broodstock System can hold multiples of eighteen female lobsters, with independent air systems and open top outflows that can be configured using our hatched larvae transfer equipment, which minimises mechanical damage to larvae when stocking into our Larval Upwellers. The systems come complete with all broodstock pipework and individual components can be removed, cleaned and replaced easily.
The RAS that is included with the Broodstock System can be set up to operate independently, allowing the biological filter to mature without connection to the Broodstock System. This flexibility allows operators peace of mind and an easy cleaning solution of the broodstock holding area, without reducing the efficiency of the biological filter. This system can be supplied without a reservoir and even retrofitted to an existing customer’s system, pending requirements.
