Living Water RUIC: Crayfeed
Role
Coi
Description
The redclaw crayfish industry is positioned for growth since the hatchery supply has recently been debottlenecked. This project will address the next major bottleneck in feed supply. We have demonstrated on a lab-scale that there is a large scope for production improvement with improved nutrition, however this knowledge needs to be developed in the context of implementation. This project will scope the existing feed supply and engage with the manufacturer around their capacity and limitations in production of improved redclaw feed. This will form the basis of further research design that will inform implementable changes to improve redclaw production.
