Abstract

Lobster aquaculture industry in sea cage farming has used seafood as its food leading to challenges such as disease risk, environmental degradation and disaster. This paper presents growth, survival, sexual maturity and flesh quality of scalloped spiny lobsters from a two period culture in recirculating system. In the first period, a number of 2655 healthy juveniles acclimated with formulated diet at average body weight of 11.4-14.0 g were stocked at 36.88 individuals m-2 in three months. In the second period, a number of 2334 selected healthy juveniles at average body weight of 52.18-69.97 g were restocked at 13.5-14.1 individuals m-2. The lobsters were fed formulated diet twice a day at a feeding rate of 2.2-1.6% of the body weight. The quality of biofilter based reused water was 28.4-29.8°C, pH: 7.6-8.0, salinity: 26.8-36.4 ppt, dissolved oxygen ≥ 5.2 mg L-1, total ammonia nitrogen ≤ 0.82 mg L-1, NO2-N ≤ 0.5 mg L-1, NO3-N ≤ 4.3 mg L-1, alkalinity: 96.4-132.4 mg L-1. The body weight of lobsters increased following a polynomial (r2 = 99.9%) and reached harvest size of 300 g after nine months and final size of 349.5 ± 9.9 g, survival of 81.5% and productivity of 4.51 ± 0.28 kg m-2 after thirteen months. The lobster performance was similar to those fed seafood in sea cage farming. The berried females were observed at a minimum carapace length of 3.5 cm from July to September. The cooked lobster flesh and its content of fat and highly unsaturated fatty acids were less reddish and half of the lobsters fed seafood in sea cage farming, respectively. The differences are likely due to a deficiency of astaxanthin content in the formulated feed and possibly a poor assimilation of lipid by the lobsters. The results are interesting in development of a land based farming of spiny lobsters.
