European lobster farming
smart aquaculture
Developer: Dr. Roberto Rabiti
DINAQUA Project Manager, RAS solutions expert
Since 1972, he has been involved in the construction of aquaculture farms in Italy and various countries around the Mediterranean and the world. A list of the projected and built plants includes shrimp, lobster, eel, sea bass, sea bream, mullet, bream, perch, pikes, tilapia and others farms for various species
From 2003 to 2005, he directed the research of the state of fishing and aquaculture in Tuscany, where he worked also as a coach and as the RAS solutions expert in the training course for regional aquaculture technicians. A few years later, he participated in the integrated design for the development of aquaculture in the Sardinia region
Some countries where he has provided international and often governmental consulting services include Japan, the Philippines, Cuba, Senegal, Santo Domingo, Ghana, Chile, Brazil, Algeria and Tunisia

European lobster
The European lobster is a valuable crustacean, with higher commercial value compared to its Canadian “brother”, also because at this times it almost entirely comes from fishing. We have managed to overcome the problems of the juvenile phase

Tropical shrimps
Shrimp for various reasons allows you to better manage the start-up of the farm, especially for those who enter the sector for the first time, so you can start with shrimp and add lobster from the second year of activity

Oysters
We cultivate bivalves, such as oysters, mussels, scallops, etc. in the same farming circuits, to enhance the filtration system, as the play an important role as bio-sanitizers
the advantages
Over one hectare of active filtration surface for each aquaculture module
Improves balanced consumption of resources
With the application of AI, the management model is constantly improved. The husbandry model itself follows the objectives of the FarmToFork directive and reduces both energy consumption and CO2 emissions compared to the frozen supply chain
Requires few water thanks to continuous recirculation
In RAS aquaculture, water is continuously recycled, and for DINAQUA smart aquaculture even within completely autonomous module, so we make only with 1 complete water change in a month, followed by intense sanitary control including the quality of the water before releasing
Respects the biological cycle of the animal
Smart farming exploits the natural immune defenses of the animal, creating an optimal and controlled and healthy environment, completely excludes the need for antibiotics, while constant oxidation prevents the production of toxic substances from anoxic degradation
Improves payback period of investment
Thanks to the characteristic of modularity, consequently with a lower investment threshold for start-up, accompanied by the choice of the species and the fact of short construction period (just a few month), we have really quick the exit in cash, so much shorter payback period
We stand for the polyculture IMTA model by cultivating bivalves, namely oysters, mussels, scallops, etc. in the same circuits, using their important role of bio-sanitizers. In this way, we can manage better the bacterial component and organic particulate, producing at the same time high-value commercial biomass at relatively low co

It is sufficient that the land is for agricultural use and relatively flat, with any geological composition, and preferably rectangular with one dimension wider than 60 m. For saltwater projects, it should also be located not far from the coastal zone, within 1.5 km.
