Mud crab

A later 5,000-tonne mud-crab plant in a vertical system.

  • Mud crab is not an extra net on the sea-cage ring.

The same later phase includes mud crab at 5,000 tonnes in a vertical system. Crab is not finfish; it is not grown in the same cage, and it is not fed on the same schedule. It is planned as its own plant on the island rather than an appendix to the rings at sea.

The process is a separate building, stacked husbandry, a crab diet, grow-out in the system, harvest, then prepare on Dalma. Different animal, different water, different geometry.

Like shrimp, it follows the island rule: raise the animal here, prepare it here, and state the origin as Dalma. The figure stored in the desk is a design capacity for a later phase.

Open the steps below for how that plant is meant to be run. They can be edited from the company desk.

The process

How this plant is run, step by step.

Each step is cultivation work — water, feed, transfer, ice — not a portrait of the company.

Give crab its own plant

01

Give crab its own plant

Mud crab is not finfish. It is not grown in the same cage and it is not fed on the same schedule. The plan is a separate building on the island.

Use a vertical system

02

Use a vertical system

The later phase is drawn as a vertical system — stacked husbandry, not an extra ring at sea. Different water, different geometry.

Feed on a crab schedule

03

Feed on a crab schedule

Crab does not take the same pellet at the same hour as a sea-cage fish. Diet and timing are its own, even if the mill sits on the same lease.

Grow out in the building

04

Grow out in the building

Grow-out happens in the vertical plant, not in Gulf cages. The public capacity stored for this later phase is 5,000 tonnes.

Harvest from the system

05

Harvest from the system

When crab reach harvest size they leave the vertical system for the island plant. They do not share the sea-cage harvest.

Prepare on the island

06

Prepare on the island

Raise it here, prepare it here, state Dalma. The same island rule as finfish and shrimp, in a plant of its own.

In the chain

Four plants, in the order they are meant to work.
