The nutritional requirements and wild prey of the planktotrophic larval stage (phyllosoma) of P. cygnus were previously unknown.
Most valuable single species fishery in Australia
Purpose
Hampering both management and aquaculture efforts.

Results
毛顎類被取食的數量是其他種類飼料的 2-8 倍。毛顎類被取食速率隨著濃度上升而提高 。這些毛顎類和龍蝦幼生的酯質與酯肪酸組成變異極大,顯示他們應該生存於貧營養的大洋食物鏈,其生活環境之食物來源可能受到限制。持續取食毛顎類六天以上的龍蝦幼生,其酯肪酸組成有明顯改變,顯示其營養狀態的改善。
提供現今龍蝦養殖產業,餌料研發方面有了具體的方向。
