Lobster is really difficult to culture in a closed vat of seafood, but a group of teachers and students of Republic Polytechnic campus has succeeded in breeding lobsters, but also the culture of the 60 lobsters sold Fat Kee Chiu Chow restaurants.

The instructors Zhongyi Chang, and 9 from the students study the composition of teams, beginning from last June to develop the campus lobster aquaculture technologies, so that lobsters can grow at a vat.

Aquaculture 300 grams weight for six months

Had only 5 cm long, 30 grams of little lobsters, following a lot more than six months after breeding, has been shelling a number of times, and finally grow to 18 cm long, 300 grams large lobster.

Zhongyi Chang said in an interview, they had the concept of just want to aquaculture shrimp, soon after the decision to a new trial, and 100 lobsters into the water tank in the Keeper to see on the growth environment is also incredibly sensitive to the typical growth of lobsters The results of technical success of aquaculture lobsters.

He said the commencement of the scheme, they are already doing enough homework, and lobster habitat, habits, and habits such have a good understanding.

“In the tank, he succeeded in breeding lobsters, in addition to close control because we water quality, temperature, oxygen composition and flow rate, we are also added to the water shrimps and crustaceans unique nutritional requirements, whilst use of water treatment technologies.”

“As far as I know, if a little lobster growing to 18 cm in the sea will want one to two years, we believe that the results of such work hospital was productive.”

On the reason for only 60 lobster tank, Zhongyi Chang explained that in the breeding process, many staff will bring a number of lobster cooked in order to test its texture and sweetness. They also sell the lobster housewives, results are extremely positive response.

Zhong Yichang Institute just before joining the Republican workers in their own analysis firm in seafood farming, so many years of fish farming expertise.

The next step of a vat and crabs

Republican Engineering Dean Cheng Liu stated that the cost of 40,000 yuan in the scheme covers a wide range of study, students have to master the engineering, life sciences and water treatment technologies and other aspects of understanding, but also ought to take into account the enterprise benefits strategy .

He also stated that hospital workers are being discussed and a number of business partners to explore whether or not this way of lobster aquaculture be commercially viable, and they will plan the next breeding crabs in the tank in the hope of a breakthrough.

Participating students Classification and Ethnographic Mapping Details Technologies (19) stated they have plenty of details from this program useful knowledge, although feeding lobster moment to feel a lot of fun.

He stated: “To this, we pay a lot of time, even on weekends and public holidays have to return to school feeding lobsters, and check the water treatment and water good quality control systems and all operating normally.”

“Lobster is mainly eat mussels (mussels), I feel particularly happy that these lobsters, because we will make sure that they are well fed each and every meal.”

One more student Ye Liling (20 years) stated, when you see the crayfish slowly grow up, heart can not tell the satisfaction and happiness.

She stated: “The entire culture of work produced me realize the importance of team spirit, every person had a great cooperation, I also learned a lot, including how to study and grasp lobster, ha ha.”

To show support for students, Fat Kee Chiu Chow Restaurant yesterday to 2,000 yuan to purchase the 60 lobsters hospital workers.

Li Changhao boss stated: “Public institutions bought the Republican culture of lobster is to encourage these students, the funds will be employed to fund the work from the students use. I have tasted a couple of lobster just before, taste, and now on the marketplace lobster for sale not far off, so I hope they have more then a new attempt, such as for lobster reproduction, I think this will be a really key breakthrough. “
