Where are lobsters caught?
The American Lobster is found on the east coast of North America, from Newfoundland to North Carolina. In 1996, more than 70 million pounds of lobsters were landed in the U.S. Approximately 80% came from Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine.
Is it possible to raise lobsters on a commercial basis?
Not yet, but research is underway to develop rearing techniques and to assess the economic feasibility of rearing the American lobster commercially. In the opinion of many scientists working with the American lobster, commercial aquaculture can be achieved in the near future with a sufficient level of effort. Future projections for the culture of the spiny lobster are not, however, optimistic. Unlike the American lobster, which has a relatively short larval life (several weeks), the spiny lobster has a larval life of about six or seven months. The fragile, demanding requirements of the early life present technical difficulties.
