If you honestly don't even know what to feed them, you are not ready to start a farm (unless you are just an investor and having a manager doing the work)

So you really need to work for a farm and learn all the operations

Bascially before you embark on this project you may want to consider afew things.

1. Type of lobster to grow - It will depend on the country and water condition where you are located.

2. Stocking of Lobsters Fingerlings - Currently all or most lobster farm stock their farm with wild caught lobsters as currently Lobsters raising lobsters from egg is not really heard of due to the complex feeding stages of the lobsters.

3. Feeding of lobsters - Lobsters are feed with fish hence avaliability of fish is criticial to sustain your farm.

4. Labour - This is a lobour intensive job so you need to have dedicated workers for this project.
