ABOUT LOBSTERS 135 



the lobster industry must be looked upon, not as a natural 

 resource of unlimited proportions to be exploited as the im- 

 mediate consideration dictates, but as a sea-farming activity 

 which— no matter how extensive the grazing area may now 

 seem, the abundance, nevertheless, has very definite limits 

 —may easily be destroyed; and a sufficient supply of grow- 

 ing stock must be retained if we are to maintain the desired 

 yield." 5
