Matters needing attention in breeding Boston lobster
1. Suitable growth speed: Boston lobster is naturally distributed in subtropical and tropical regions. Good growth rate can be obtained between 65438 08℃ and 32℃.
2. Water quality requirements: Water source, mainly surface water from unpolluted rivers, lakes and reservoirs.
In the process of culture, the lowest pH value of water is 6. 10, and the highest pH value is 9.33, but it is best to be 6.5-9.0, and it is best to be neutral and alkaline. The salinity of water is 22-24 degrees.
