Well -traveled New Brearswick Lobster caught Cape Cod, Mass.

This summer went to a new Breanswick Lobster South for the holiday.

“They do not pay attention to any kind of limit or border,” said the Grand Manan Whale and a senior research scientist at the sebird research station. “They go wherever they want to go.”

Copman recently documented an extraordinary case of a female lobster, who made a lot of tracks from all the ways of New Breanswick Waters, away from Massachusetts.

Copman worked at the station for more than 30 years, and is currently operating a project to tag the female shrimp fishes caught around the island to track its movement.

“They are the ones that are taking the eggs around. The larvae will hatch, and from where the larvae will land and what will the future of fisher be looks like?” He said about the inspiration behind his current project.

Lobasters are tagged with a note that asks anyone who catches the lobster, to call the Copman to report where it was raised.

While most of the reports he is from around the Grand Manan, where the lobster has been tagged, Copman said that he also gets reports around Campobello and Deer Island, South -West Nova Scotia and Main Coast.

“And now we can add the cape cod to the list,” he said.

Since the project started in 2019, Copman said about 6,600 lobasters have been tagged. They receive a report about 23 percent of them.

But it was a report on Sunday morning which was standing outside.

Copman said he received a text message from the Massachusetts Area Code, where GPS was sent with co-ordinates, where a lobster was caught.

He looked at the coordination, “and my goodness, this cape was two miles from cod,” he said.

The distance of Grand Manan to Provincetown, Mass., Where the lobster was caught by fishermen Mike O’Brien, is about 220 knots or about 407 kilometers, as the crow blows.

Copman said, “Lobster does not travel in straight lines,” so good that she covers which land she covers, “Kopman said. The lobster was recorded from the cape cod exactly 250 days after being tagged with Grand Manan.

CBC News was unable to reach O’Brien for comment.

Copman said that the data point represents the farthest lobster from where he has been tagged into the Grand Manan, but does not mean that it has ever traveled by a creator far away.

“A fisherman raises a lobster with a yellow tag there and a strange phone number on it might not know about my tagging program, because it is far away,” he said.

Copman said that it is difficult to know why this special lobster went for such a journey, but the female shrimp will roam according to the season. The species also has a long breeding season and is exceptionally sensitive to the water temperature.

“Laboratory experiments have shown that they can discriminate between 1 ° C, so the temperature probably has some role where it ended.”

She is now doing research on Grand Manan, Kopman said that she is ready to know the local lobster fishing industry better and has even started helping some of the island fishermen tag the lobasters.

“Time has been taken for them to say, ‘Why should I participate in it?” And I think some of them find it interesting to say, ‘Okay, where did this lobster come from? ” He said.

“It is always good to see that people are excited about data and the results coming out of it. This is the part that is really inspiring.”
