Carribean Sustainable Fisheries

Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries is a spiny lobster farm located in the British Virgin Islands, specifically in Tortola. The company focuses on producing sustainably-sourced, premium Caribbean spiny lobster through on-land farming techniques. Established in 2005, the company has developed a sustainable grow-out system that minimizes environmental impact while producing high-quality lobsters. The farm's approach combines the natural resources of the British Virgin Islands with advanced aquaculture expertise.

The company's farming method is designed to be environmentally friendly and sustainable. By collecting lobster larvae during their high mortality window in the wild, where 98% naturally die within the first week, and raising them in controlled conditions, Caribbean Sustainable Fisheries achieves high survival rates with minimal impact on natural populations. This practice, which they term "biological neutrality," allows for the production of lobsters while potentially aiding in the replenishment of wild stocks. The farm employs state-of-the-art aquaculture equipment, including growing tanks, water filtration and circulation systems, unique feeding systems, and a laboratory. Since 2017, the company has been producing lobsters to adult size, continually refining its operations for efficiency and consistency.
