The transportation was very successful. The vreather .conditions 

 vrere favorable and the vxater sufficiently saline. On account of 

 the salinity cf the v/ater it is nuch easier to transport the young

The first young lobsters ivhich vrere hatched, about 1,900, v/ere 

 released in the oyster- basin fron June 18 to 21. On June 29 a 

 young lobster in the 2d stage Y/as caught* Also on July 2 a young 

 lobster wns noticedt On July 7 I noticed three young lo-sters in 

 the -Ith stage swiimning quickly around near the surface. . They had 

 a pronounced dark, sotneY/hat bluish color and looked very strong. 

 They attacked different thin[;;s floating near the sijrface or a fciv 

 centimeters beloiT it. On July 8 three i.iore young lobsters vrere 

 seen* They v/ere SY/iniaing near the surface Yfith a peculiarly steady 

 course and v/ith a speed of about 10 neters per iiinuteo On July 10 

 a lobster in the 4th stage wris seen again^, but then no more Yrere 

 noticed until the basin Y/as enptied Ifoy 12-14^ 1936. At that tine 

 11 lobsters vrere found. The length Y;as 6 to 8 centii.ieterE • Nine

 find them in the mud v/hich gathers on the bottom.

Re aring of lobste r young 



In the spring of 1936 we had, like many preceding years,, diffi- 

 culties in getting a sufficient number of lobsters vrith good eggs* 

 In the fall it is not hard to get lobsters Y/ith large amoimts of 

 neY/ external et^gs, but as the spring and early summer pass by and 

 the eggs develop, they increase in size and fall off easily» This 

 happens especially to tlie lobsters in confinement, Tlhen v/e cjco
