Figure 5,, Lobster concentration areas in Long Island Sound. 



New York has experienced a similar, if not more striking, increase 

 in lobstering activity even though the total catch is less than that of Con- 

 necticut. In 1958, the New York catch was a mere 7,500 pounds or 3 percent 

 of the total Sound catch of lobsters. By 1970, the total rose to 330,000 

 pounds or 33 percent of the total Sound lobster catch.
