Berried V-Notch Lobster

Lobster Fact:
Berried female lobsters carry thousands of eggs attached to their swimmerettes. Depending on water temperatures, the eggs will remain attached for about a year on average. Only 0.1% of the prelarva will survive over six weeks after being released at hatching. V-notching is a fishery management practice used as a conservation method, and consists of marking berried female lobsters by punching a ‘V-shaped’ notch in the tail of the animal before returning it to sea water. This identifies the lobster as a “proven” broodstock and will protect it next time it is caught, even if the eggs are gone. It is illegal for fishermen to land a berried female lobster.
