FROM LITTLE THINGS, BIG THINGS GROW
After 18 years of trying, closing the life cycle of tropical rock lobsters was a significant and world changing milestone in bringing sustainable, commercially viable lobster farming to reality.
The secret is in the methods and equipment that have been specifically developed to address the critically important requirements of the lobster life cycle – a unique system that is finely tuned for success.
PFG has world class aquaculture manufacturing capabilities and with the researchers at the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) is a critical partner in commercialising this scientific breakthrough. By moving up the value chain to create a new business PFG is building a global food security, biosecurity and sustainability footprint for lobster.
The first commercial hatchery is being constructed by PFG in Tasmania and is due for completion in 2021.
