Tropical Rock Lobster is an exquisite and unique seafood. Highly regarded around the world for its superb texture and taste, a sweet rich flavour, low oiliness and moist, medium-firm flesh.
Available all year round, we supply Australian grown Tropical Lobster and lobster seed stock (Puerulus and juveniles) to local and international markets.
Tropical Rock lobsters are grown in land based Ornatas nurseries and grown out using high-end sustainable systems. Using world-leading scientific process and treated with optimum care throughout the growing period, we ensure the best quality and welfare of our lobsters at all stages of the life cycle.
Tropical Rock Lobsters have a complex larval cycle. Ornatas recreates the ocean environment and uses world leading spiny lobster breeding technology, developed by the University of Tasmania.
Until recently, the lobster’s long and complex lifecycle has made it impossible to produce seed stock in a commercially scalable hatchery.
The secret to successful breeding and culturing Tropical Rock Lobsters is based on the methods and equipment that have been designed to support optimal animal culture parameters at each of the stages of their complex life cycle.
