Omars, are you serious about this? have you ever considered the Australian Red claw crawfish, or freshwater lobster? you seem to have the facilities, and they are really easy to aquaculture, relatively speaking. drop me a message on this. i did extensive reading on the issue, and have contacts in the USA and other caribbean territories.

I'm very serious - About 4 years ago we ordered 12 Australian Lobsters and they all arrived dead.
Oxygen was a great factor.

Looking for similar species here in the US, as I can have them in DR in two hours from MIA or FLL airports.

Here are some of the guide lines that we fallowed from from Mississippi State University when building the ponds - 5th paragraph, Page 1:

i spoke to a guy in florida, and he can ship redclaw to the DR, and assures me that they will get here alive. but, he cannot ship them with eggs attached, as pregnant females (is that the term) will not survive the flight.

good day omar
you are looking to do redclaw (marron)
cherax quadricarinatus
we call queensland marron,tropical blue
thay hae been growing them in Guyana now for over 8yrs
with some promblems as to size
growth rates may take from 11 1/2 months to 5 yrs to reach the min size of
76mm carapace length
commercial production requires: specialised facilities at a high cost
you should look more into this first i have been in the aqua game now for over
25yrs and done work around the world in this field
if you need help let me know andi can give you more info on marrons etc

dreadlock
what is the post larval size he sends
or can he ship juveniles?
number of larval or juveniles per box
cost per unit
and survival rate per shipment
omer would have to know this first mate

I would be interested in investing in such a project. You do know it is already going on in Cabrera and Nagua, right?

As long as the blah blah mouth Dread isn't involved I will know you are serious. What can he offer anything other than just talk and blah blah...

i see where our resident cretin and imbecile, Escott, has taken time out from his arduous schedule of berating Dominicans in general, to taking another of his predictable pot shots at me. yes, the universally loathed dirtbag, from DR1 to DT. never offered anything enlightening and useful. all he ever says is how amoral and stupid Dominicans are. really ill bred guest, who comes to your house for dinner and pees on the carpet. but, enough of him, at least for now. to the serious inquiry, i would look at the Australian redclaw. it is referred to as the fresh water lobster. some grow to 14 inches in length. they are no aggressive, and can therefore be demse packed for reproduction. they are also omnivorous, and guys in florida and texas are harvesting restaurant scraps to sell to redclaw farmers. they are very prolific, spawn twice per year, and deliver over 1000 eggs each time. problems include walkabout, where they crawl out of tanks where the water level is less than 11 inches or so from the top. but they can live for many hours outside the water, and have been found walking next to highways in Florida. they also burrow if the mud is soft. the taste is similar to marine lobster. the main parasites and bacteria which affect them usually are inactive above 68 degrees farenheit. i have a few contacts in florida and texas who are experts in the field, and we maintain contact by email. i will give whatever help i can. Escott can sit on the sidelines and do what he does best;being obnoxious and ignorant.
