"Damage to lobsters by commercial scallop dragging in Egmont Bay and off Miminegash, PEI, was minimal with present seasonal scallop fisheries restrictions. During May, when commercial scallop fishing was occurring, lobster abundance was low in areas of profitable scallop exploitation. These areas were generally smooth and most lobsters were able to avoid the gear. Of the lobsters observed to be in the drag path, 12.1 and 2.5% were injured or retained by the drag in the areas studied having no commercial scallop fishing and commercial scallop fishing, respectively. Lobster abundance in July in the areas commercially exploited for scallops in May and June was significantly greater than in May, but whether this was the result of a natural seasonal movement of lobsters or was influenced by the cessation of scallop fishing is unclear"--Abstract.
