In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we explore a groundbreaking breakthrough in cultivating the European spiny lobster. By optimizing light intensity and pairing it with high-quality nutrition, researchers achieved a survival rate increase from under 1% to over 40%. This could redefine commercial viability and sustainability in lobster aquaculture. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2024 article titled "Effect of light intensity on the survival of European spiny lobster (Palinurus elephas) larvae reared in aquaculture system" by Filippi, J. J., et al.
