Lobstermen participating in the RILA cooperative research project tagged female lobsters with a plastic t-anchor tag and collected biological data including the animals' size before returning them to the water.
However, the actual data collected from the RILA study is hinting that those assumptions may not be valid for lobsters from the inshore Rhode Island waters that are actively fished by lobstermen.
The fishermen, who have daily contact with many lobsters over a wide geographic area and have the boats, equipment, and expertise needed to catch and handle the lobsters, are ideal candidates for carrying out the tagging and recapturing tasks.
