Join Wells Reserve lobster scientists Dr. Ben Gutzler and Dr. Jason Goldstein for an informal presentation on their research and findings.
The American lobster (Homarus americanus) is the dominant crustacean in the Gulf of Maine, supporting the most valuable single-species fishery in the United States. Management for this fishery has often focused on egg production. The research team's work explores the role that lobster nutrition plays in egg production and quality, aiming to fill the knowledge gaps around these topics. Their findings will help provide better data for the continued management of this important and valuable fishery.
