One of the members of my watch is Dr. Joe Kunkel, who is doing something called ‘landmark analysis’ on some of the lobsters that we have caught. This process involves recording the exact location of 12 specific points on the carapace or shell of each lobster. Then he compares the relative geometry of different lobsters to look for trends and patterns. So far, it appears that lobsters that are caught inshore have different geometry than lobsters that are caught further offshore.Read the blog post
