Ha tching vj-orko Rearing of lobsters 



The supply of spawn lobsters was very scarce. Yfe had in due 

 time tried to secure the necessary quantity^ but it appeared that 

 the lobster exporter in question could not nearly provide us v;ith 

 the necessary number in spite of the fact that we paid a very good 

 price for the selected spavm lobsters. There might be several 

 reasons why it v;as so hard to get a sufficient number of egg-bearing 

 lobsters e One of the main causes was probably that the lobster eggs 

 developed unusually early this year. ITe started to purchase by 

 June 1 and obtained the first young in the middle of the month. On 

 July 4 vre had to stop the pui-chasing after having obtained only 

 163 spavm lobsters e The greater- part of the eggs vras then hatched. 



The greatest difficulty we have to fight is to get a sufficient 

 n\naber of spawn lobsters which still have the main part of their 

 eggs. 



About 136,200 young lobsters were gathered, of v/hich about 

 154,300 were used for rearingc Of these a little more than 26,300 

 were reared'to the 4th and 5th stage - e.ge about 19.5 per cent. 

 A fev7 vrere released in earlier stages when the work stop^^^ed.
