Land ahoy for 1m pound lobster farming

Researchers from Swansea University are travelling to Norway to kick start a two year project aimed at increasing the availability of European lobster.

The £1.1m LobsterPlant project aims to create commercially viable land-based farming to meet growing consumer demand.

Baby lobsters are already being reared at the university’s centre for sustainable aquaculture research.

The university said the project has the backing of TV chef Rick Stein.
