[Rimarinefisheries] Lobster tagging program

[rimarinefisheries at listserve.ri.gov]

Atlantic Offshore Lobstermen's Association (AOLA), working with the New
Hampshire Fish and Game, is tagging eggbearing, v-notched, and oversized
lobsters on Georges Bank in 2015, in order to track migration and
investigate growth rates. 

 

What to report: date, location, tag #, lobster sex, whether the lobster
had eggs or v-notch and whether you kept or released the animal. If you
have a way to measure carapace length in millimeters, we would
appreciate that information as well. 

 

Rewards: 1st place- $500, 2nd place - $300, 3rd place $200. Each tag
report will qualify as one entry into the raffle. Raffle winners will be
drawn July 1, 2016. Planning underway for another raffle in 2017.

 

 

If you haul a tagged lobster, please release it and contact: 

Heidi Henninger 603-828-9342 or heidi at offshorelobster.org
