Report for P'ljj^devigen hatohery for 1931/1932 



Lobs ter 



In anticipation of the new apparatus., for' 'which means had been 

 granted- by the Storting (Parliament), there vras no hatching of lob- 

 sters d\aring the sTJiinmer 1931o In the course of t?ie year the build- 

 ing has been finished and the neViT apparatus installed. The building 

 is 21.18 X 7»68 ineters, on one floor. It is built of timber raised 

 on end with inside and outside plates (planks). The roof is made 

 of corrugated plates,. The floor is entirely made of cement. 



Besides three old hatching boxes with a total of si.:c effective 

 apparatus, tv;ro nev/ ones have been installed, eadh with 10 apparatus. 

 Twenty-six apparatus are now at our disposal for the rearing of 

 lobsters. The new ones are^ considernbly larger than the old ones, 

 so that the capacity of the whole station is about five times 

 greater. 



The apparatus are placed in a large room in t he southern part 

 of the building. In the northern end there is an engine- room 

 virhere a new pum^p and motor have been installed. The motor is of 

 17,6 kilowatt and the pump gives about 270 tons of water per hovir 

 with pressu5re and liftiiig capacity of about 11 meters, ITc also 

 have the old pump which gives about 60 tons per hour, A room near 

 the engine is set aside for refrigerator for the lobster food. 



Statistics are still being gathered concerning the catc?i of 

 some lobster fishermen. This is preparatory work for later investi- 

 gations as to the utility of releasing lobster spaivn in different 

 localities. The statistics gathered also give good information in 

 other respects - and as soon as the economic conditions make it 

 possible, we should gather similar mr^terial for the entire lobster 

 district •• '
