Australian Bay Lobster Producers Ltd (ABLP) was established to globally commercialise our proprietary patented process for breeding and producing Bay Lobster Thenus Spp. in an industrial setting, a lobster species also known in Australia as Moreton Bay Bugs.

he founders of ABLP have extensive experience in the commercial harvesting of Australia's natural fishery resources and globally trading such produce. This first hand experience led to the early recognition that the demands on nature's resources in this area cannot be sustained without supplementary resources from other means. This realisation was the catalyst for ABLP and the 20-year research and development invested to date in a unique lobster growing system.

The various technical, market and environmental risks associated with this style of business have been addressed by independent and internal experts. They consider that expansion from experimental and trial production to commercial production is modular growth. Although the processes have involved scientific breakthroughs, these are proven and do not involve complex technology. The modular design has been proven at the Queensland Department of Primary Industries Bribie Island Aquaculture Research Centre.
