Comparison of three lobster (Homarus americanus) trap escape mechanisms and application of a theoretical retention curve for these devices in the southern Gulf of St. Lawrence lobster fishery / by D.R....: Fs70-8/87-87E-PDF
"A twofold investigation was conducted to 1) compare fishermen's lobster (Homarus americanus) catch from traps equipped with one of three types of escape mechanisms (plastic lath with 38.1 x 203 mm rectangular opening, wooden lath with three 44.3 mm diameter round holes and wooden lath spacing with a 37.1 mm opening) to the catches from standard traps, and 2) to determine the retention of lobsters in traps as a function of the escape mechanism opening by developing a predictive model"--Abstract, page 1.
