National Lobster Hatchery

is a charity that was set up to support the cornish fishery and local lobster population. Lobsters are nurtured from egg through their most vunerable stage of their life cycle and released back into the wild. The visitor centre is open every day of the year except Christmas Day.

It’s Sustainable Sunday!
Today we’re going to have a look at minimum landing sizes and how it can help sustain the future of a species.
So what is a minimum landing size? When a fish or crustacean is caught, there is a minimum landing size to be adhered too (i.e. a minimum measurement the animal must fulfil in order to be caught). Minimum landing sizes are utilised all over the world but can vary depending on location. This is a great way to ensure that we protect immature animals by giving them a future and improved chance to produce offspring of their own. In the photo you can see a lobster being measured – the minimum landing size for a European lobster in the southwest is 90mm on the carapace (measuring from behind the eye to the rear of the carapace).
