1 Model of closed-life cycle aquaculture production system. 

The greatest bottleneck to closed-cycle aquaculture production of Palinurid lobsters is the lack of a robust commercially viable hatchery technology, which is primarily due to the unusual nature of their larval cycle (Section 9.1.3). The development of such technology is arguably one of the most challenging engineering and biological endeavours in aquaculture.
