Assessment of American lobster in Newfoundland .: Fs70-6/2016-052E-PDF
"Most size frequency distributions clearly show a sharp drop at legal size and few lobsters achieving the second molt class, indicating that most of the exploitable biomass is caught in the year of recruitment to the fishery. Nominal effort has decreased by 45% since 2006. CPUE has increased gradually over the past decade. Overall the survival of unprotected lobsters (males, non-ovigerous, non-v-notched females), relative to protected lobsters (ovigerous females), is low. Moreover, within the legal size, the survival of large lobsters is better than small lobsters"--Conclusions, p. 14.
