| | American lobster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | By having a pair of olefation organs, a lobster can locate the direction a smell is coming from much the same way we can hear the direction a sound comes from. | | | Food is chewed between three teeth-like grinders in what is called the gastric mill. | | | (At this point, they are ofter referred to as "turds" in the industry.) They will often fall prey to other lobsters, especially egg-bearing females, who become very defensive when carrying their eggs. |

| | EPA: Federal Register: American Lobster Fishery |
| | Comment 16: Five commenters stated that the expansion of the offshore lobster fishery in the past 10 to 15 years represents a shift in traditional fishing practices of the industry and should not be the basis for higher trap allocations. | | | Comment 6: One commenter does not believe that American lobsters are overfished and, therefore, no additional management measures are necessary. | | | NMFS concludes that, on balance, the need to maintain the integrity of the vent size requirement, and its benefits as a lobster management measure, outweigh the loss resulting from a possible but unquantified escapement of black sea bass through the required size vents of trap fishing gear. |

| | American lobster: Setting research agenda |
| | Management questions about the relationship of the inshore and offshore lobster stocks and the value given in the assessment to the v-notched and oversize lobsters off the Maine coast continue to make this research directly pertinent to the future of the Maine lobster industry. | | | In the process of improving data, there is interest in developing new ways to monitor the health of the lobster population. | | | As with all crustaceans, there is no established technique to age lobster. |
