  • Canadian lobster 500/600Homarus americanus

    Canadian lobster 500/600Homarus americanus

    Species of lobster found on the Atlantic coast of North America, chiefly from Labrador to New Jersey. It is also known as Canadian lobster, true lobster, northern lobster, Canadian Reds, or Maine lobster. It can reach a body length of 64 cm (25 in), and a mass of over 20 kilograms (44 lb), making it not only the heaviest crustacean in the world, but also the heaviest of all living arthropod species. Its closest relative is the European lobster Homarus gammarus, which can be distinguished by its coloration and the lack of spines on the underside of the rostrum. American lobsters are usually bluish green to brown with red spines, but several color variations have been observed.

  • European lobster 1000/12000

     European lobster 1000/12000

    The species is also found in the Mediterranean Sea, but not in the Baltic. The northernmost self-sustaining population is found in Tysfjord (68°15’N) in northern Norway.

    The lobster fishery in Norway has traditions that can be traced back to the 1600’s. Available statistics describe a national fishery fluctuating around an annual average of 900 thousand individuals from 1820 to 1920, corresponding to about 500 tons. The landings rose sharply in the early 1930s to a peak of 1 300 tons in 1932 (2.8 million individuals). In the following decades, the landings varied around 700 to 800 tons yearly.

    Norway was at that time one of the principal countries supplying lobster to the European market, accounting for 24 % of total landings, and the lobster fishery was thus of high economic value for many coastal communities. However, the landings fell dramatically from 1960, and are currently of about 30 tons annually. Currently, the total annual landings of European lobster vary between 2000 and 2500 tons, mainly captured in Ireland and Great Britain. Decades with low landings forced many lobster dealers in Norway to close down, and since the 1990s, annual registrations probably reflect maximum capacity of the few remaining dealers rather than total catches. The Norwegian lobster fishery can indeed be regarded as marginal, and based on a stock that has been overexploited for a long time.
