Abstract

The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of two different feeds on the growth of Australian freshwater lobster. The experimental data clearly showed that the different feeds had significant effects on the growth rate and weight gain of freshwater lobsters. In particular, feeds rich in microorganisms had the most obvious effect on the growth of lobsters and could effectively promote the rapid increase of their weight. the selection of appropriate feed types and formulations is crucial in freshwater lobster culture. This study not only revealed the effects of two different feeds on the growth of Australian freshwater lobster, but also provided a strong theoretical guidance for freshwater lobster culture practice. In order to improve the breeding efficiency and promote the sustainable development of the industry, we can improve freshwater lobster culture continue.
