how often do lobsters give (birth?)?

I was wondering many nymphs would a lobster have in a year? 30-40 each time, but how often do they reproduce? Would they have some every 2 weeks? Every month? Or 1 time a year? I can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.

 
That's an interesting page (some of the info seems very good but some like the male/female molt disparity seems questionable). I would have said 60 days per brood but it's possible they'd go that much faster at 86F.

I have the best success at about 88 degrees constantly and different type of base foods (cat food, dog food, ground oat, ground wheat) and oranges/apple chunks, and wet baby food. I start a new bin with about 20 adults and give it about 6 weeks before I have to start giving them away.

So I would say it depends on your feed, temperature, overall colony stress (more room the more roaches), and ventilation.
