Lobster Alba survey 1014A<\/p><\/div>\n

The East Coast Scallop Survey is going well so far as the weather has been very good and is allowing us to make excellent progress through the stations. As I write this over 38 hauls have been completed with all scallops measured, aged and damage indexed. We got this large lobster in the bycatch and managed to return it to the sea unharmed despite his stay in the dredge\u2026.. although I believe if the cook had been left with the lobster his fate may have been quite different!<\/p>\n
