Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fishery Bulletin, Vol. 91: January 1993
Lobsters were sexed, carapace length (cl) measured, and the egg developmental stage of egg - bearing (ber ried) females scored as either Stage 1 (orange freshly extruded), Stage 2 (brown late development), or Stage 3 (white hatching imminent). The CL, defined as the distance along the middorsal line from the transverse ridge between the supraorbital spines to the posterior margin of the carapace, was measured to the nearest 0.1mm. Berried female specimens were either pro cessed fresh in the ship's wet lab or ?ash-frozen (damp) aboard ship for processing ashore.
