Atlantic Offshore Lobstermen’s Association (AOLA), working with the New Hamp-shire 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 meas-ure 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:
