Annual and seasonal size-frequency changes of trap-caught lobsters (Homarus americanus) in the Bay of Fundy

Abstract

A higher proportion of large, mature lobsters was caught in the upper reaches of the Bay of Fundy and Passamaquoddy Bay. Areas off Chance Harbour showed evidence of high recruitment and lobster landings were characterized by a large proportion of smaller lobsters close to the legal minimum size (81 mm carapace length). -from Authors
