Project: The first ever automated hatchery solution to meet demand for high quality European Lobster
| Acronym | AutoHatch (Reference Number: 114944) |
| Duration | 01/03/2021 - 01/10/2023 |
| Project Topic | We will develop an industrial cost-effective hatchery for European Lobster (EL) zoea larvae (ZL). We will develop processes for maturing ZL to benthic juvenile stage IV (J-IV). We will mitigate cannibalism, improve feed and living conditions; by developing novel, ZL-specific automated processes, and visual AI-based control. This will improve the survival (5%->20%) and growth rate (21->15 days) for live J-IV. We will deliver the first fully automized industrial-scale hatchery for EL production. |
