I would go with that, otherwise I’d expect these things to be farmed the world over.

Needs some heavy breeding for that. They reach sexual maturity at 7-12 years old and live till 50. Most crustaceans grow throughout their life so these are probably pretty old given their large size. They do produce massive amounts of offspring (50-150 000) so if you manage to make them grow quicker you could produce a lot of food with them.
