Purpose
Oberland's black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) bait has the potential to be a sustainable, supply chain resilient, cost-competitive bait produced in Nova Scotia, for use by Atlantic Canada's lobster and crab harvesters. Following laboratory experiments with Homarus Labs in early 2025, Oberland Agriscience Inc. and Homarus seek to understand the in-ocean effects of and on our bait formulations. The proposed experiment objectives are (1) to determine the residence time of BSFL bait in real world applications; (2) to observe how lobster responds when presented with BSFL bait; (3) to observe the response to our bait by sea lice. Early reports from harvesters have suggested that our bait does not attract this nuisance species.
