The demand for European lobster exceeds supply. Current European lobster landings can only supply 2–7% of the market demand as the natural stock is simply insufficient to sustain an annual harvest required by the market due to over fishing which has depleted stocks. Large scale aquaculture of lobster is an alternative method to provide the supply to the market, but has not to date been feasible due to lack of automated technology available. The LobsterPlant project will make large scale farming of lobster possible by developing of: a) automated feeding and imaging technology for feeding and monitoring of the lobsters; b) cleaning technology for removal of waste in raceways; c) feed of right stability for the automated feeding technology; and d) determine optimal methods for control of water quality in lobster plants.
