Who are we?

Founder’s Message

I’ve always had a passion for marine life — from maintaining 250-gallon home aquariums to raising everything from fish to reptiles. But over time, I realized my interest was more than a hobby — it was a calling.

I started Red Claw Aquatics not just to create something profitable, but to build something with purpose. I saw the pressure on wild lobster populations, the gaps in the Southern aquaculture industry, and the lack of sustainable systems — and I decided to do something about it.

This business was born out of passion, sharpened by discipline, and driven by a bigger mission: to restore marine ecosystems, create jobs, and make the South a leader in sustainable seafood.

-Calvin Rogers, Red Claw Aquatics

Red Claw Aquatics is the first lobster breeding company based in the Southern United States, proudly founded in Hattiesburg, Mississippi by a passionate, minority entrepreneur with a vision to change the future of aquaculture.

We’re more than a seafood business — we’re a movement focused on sustainability, innovation, and marine restoration. Through indoor lobster breeding systems, juvenile repopulation projects, and long-term research, we aim to reduce the stress on wild populations while creating lasting economic impact in our community.

We believe that aquaculture can be both profitable and purposeful, and we're committed to building a future where lobster farming is smart, sustainable, and widely accessible.
