Prospects for the development of color phases for lobster population studies / D.E. Aiken and S.L. Waddy.: Fs70-8/80-66E-PDF

"To be recovered from among the thousands of lobsters landed each year, a marked lobster must be highly visible. One obvious solution to this is the release of distinct color phases. Although it has long been recognized that a true-breeding stock of red, yellow or blue lobsters could be used as biological tags to study lobster population dynamics, little progress has been made in the development of such color phases. This paper summarizes the history of, present technical basis for, and problems likely to be encountered in the development of color variants for the study of survival and distribution of American lobsters."--Introduction, page 3.
