After the initial success of lobster farming through the MoA cage culture project at Kanyakumari, another group of fisher folks came forward voluntarily and ventured lobster farming with the guidance of scientists and technical staff of Vizhinjam Research Centre of CMFRI, Vizhinjam. The team of lobster farmers from Kanyakumari was provided with 6m diameter HDPE cages through the National Fisheries Development Board (NFDB) project. Lobsters were stocked and cultured in the cages by the team off Kanyakumari. From one of these cages, a total of 172 kg of lobsters was harvested on 8th December, 2010 - daring incessant rainfall. The lobsters harvested from the cage fetched a gross income of Rs. 2,40,800/- at the current market price of Rs. 1400/- per kilogram of live lobsters.
