Boston lobster is living in seawater, so it is necessary to use seawater farming, not fresh water.
Boston lobster, belonging to the crayfish family crayfish genus, living in the cold sea, meat more tender and delicate, body color normal olive green or greenish brown, orange, reddish-brown or black individuals is not difficult to see, but about 2 million to one for the blue; yellow mutation is even rarer, the chance of occurrence of about 30 million to one.
The Boston lobster's chelipeds differ from those of other species in that the Boston lobster has two large, fleshy front chelipeds, which weigh about 15 percent of the lobster's body weight. The first step is a pair of large chelae, with one side slightly larger than the other. The body surface is smooth and the tentacles are thin.
Boston lobsters feed on fish, other small crustaceans and shellfish, and occasionally sea plants. Natural predators include cod, flounder and other lobsters.
Precautions for breeding Boston lobster
1, the appropriate growth rate: Boston lobster's natural distribution for subtropical and tropical regions. Between 18 ℃ -32 ℃ can achieve a better growth rate.
2, water quality requirements: water sources, mainly uncontaminated rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs and other large bodies of surface water as a water source.
Water pH, in the breeding process, there has been a minimum value of 6.10, the highest value of 9.33 are able to survive, but to 6.5-9.0 is good, the best for the neutral alkaline, the salinity of the water for the salinity of 22-24 degrees.
