Tropical Rock Lobster

The Australian Tropical Rock Lobster is an exquisite seafood, in high demand for its superb texture and taste, and commanding a premium price. The pristine tropical waters of the Kimberley, home to our Cone Bay aquaculture facility, offer an attractive environment for producing this highly sought-after product.

To pursue this opportunity, we have partnered with Australian aquaculture business Ornatas Pty Ltd, along with support from the government and industry, to lead a ground-breaking rock lobster production trial to grow juvenile hatchery-bred lobsters to a marketable sized product.

Tropical Rock Lobsters will bring an exciting new flavour to the growing Kimberley seafood basket and create greater economic diversity and new employment opportunities for Northern Australia.
