Equbusiness: Gender diversity on corporate boards

Cultivation of redclaw crayfish in recirculation systems
In this project, we investigate the commercial opportunities for farming redclaw crayfish in Flanders. We refine the cultivation method for this species by optimizing feeding techniques, the use of shelters, the design of the breeding facility and developing a harvesting and sorting method. Based on the research results, we want to find out whether the cultivation of redclaw crayfish is economically feasible. To determine this, we will evaluate both market-related and cultivation aspects.
