Our staff scientists recently took part in the Bahamian spiny lobster release. 45 lbs. of female spiny lobsters along with their eggs that were recently held in tanks, were released back into the warm waters of the Caribbean reefs.

Once a month in the spring and summer, all the berried females are gathered up, brought to a reef and set free. This contributes significantly to lobster population in Bahamas. Small lobsters can contribute 500,000 eggs, where large lobsters up to 1.5 million eggs. If only 1% survive, it adds at least 5,000 lobsters to the natural population. This is why it’s so important for all female lobsters to spawn at least once before they are captured.
Harvested lobsters that are undersized won’t be able to contribute to a lobster population of the Bahamas and may become unsustainable.

What do we do when we have 3 berried Bahamian lobsters in-house?

Because lobsters are in captivity, we don’t want them to hatch in our tanks. Once a month in the spring and summer, all the berried females are gathered up, brought to a reef and set free.

This annual practice contributes and supports the lobster population in the Bahamas. With these 3 lobsters, 3-4 million ready to hatch, spiny lobster eggs were released back to the sea.

This is why it’s so important for all female lobsters to spawn at least once before they are captured. If undersized lobsters are caught they won’t be able to contribute to a lobster population of the Bahamas, and may become unsustainable.

It’s officially the start of our favorite season!

The Bahamas' spiny lobster fishery, first Caribbean fishery to earn certification from the Marine Stewardship Council, has just kicked off the harvest season.

SEASON IS OPEN.
The Bahamas' spiny lobster fishery, the first Caribbean fishery to earn certification from the Marine Stewardship Council, is in full swing as harvest season for the well known Bahamian Spiny Lobster begins.

The fishery sells more than 6 million pounds of spiny lobster tails commercially each year, exporting most of its product to the United States and Europe for an estimated $80 million dollars. About 9,000 fishermen earn a living fishing for lobster across 45,000 square miles of ocean.
