Review of Cancer Crab Public Information Document (8:15 – 8:35 a.m.) Background In May the Policy Board passed a motion for the American Lobster Board to develop a FMP for Cancer Crab based on the recommendations provided by the Jonah Crab Fishery Improvement Project (FIP). A FIP is a multistakeholder effort to improve a fisheries performance to a level that is consistent with the Marine Stewardship Council’s (MSC) sustainable seafood certification. As the first step in FMP development, a Public Information Document (PID) was drafted to gather information concerning the Cancer Crab fisheries and to provide an opportunity for the public to identify major issues and alternatives relative to the management of this species. The Board approved a PID for Public Comment at the August Board meeting (Briefing Material). The public comment period ran from August 20th to October 3rd and public hearings were held in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Maryland (Briefing Material).

Review of consistency with state and federal regulations (9:00 – 9:25 a.m.) Potential Action Background In August the Board review inconsistencies between state and federal regulations pertaining to the trap transfer program, such as the conservation tax of full business transfers and conservation tax increments. The Board assigned a working group to review the inconsistencies and develop recommendations. (Briefing Material). Review of changes to federal Large Whale Take Reduction Plan and impacts to Outer Cape Cod haul-out (Briefing Material). There are currently no consistency in the vertical line gear markings between Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, and federal fishing vessels in the Gulf of Maine.

Update in Southern New England 10% reduction evaluation (9:25 – 9:35 a.m.) Action Background Under Addendum XVII all Lobster Conservation Management Areas (Areas) within Southern New England (SNE) were required to reduce exploitation by 10% in order to address rebuilding. The Technical Committee (TC) met to evaluate if the LCMA approved measures have met the 10% reduction requirement. The TC found that Areas 4 and 5 did not meet the required reduction. In response, the states and jurisdictions in within Areas 4 and 5 should develop regulations, in conjunction with the LCMT, to meet the required reduction in 2015. (Briefing Material). Presentations Review of updated state proposals Action for consideration None 8. Update on LobsTAH Database (9:35 – 9:45 a.m.) Background In August the LobsTAH Working Group met via conference call to address the goals of the final database, discuss ways to ensure the allocation and permit information are properly maintained at the state, federal, and ACCSP level and reviewing timing of trap allocations and trap cuts (Briefing Material).

As a result, the Commission issued a Request for Proposals (RFQ) to seek bids for a new trap tag vendor (Briefing Material). Presentations Review of Trap Tag RFQ Action for consideration None 10.

Cowan 23 November 2005 Period of Performance: 2002-2005 Contact Info: Diane F. Cowan The Lobster Conservancy P.O. Box 235 Friendship, ME 04547 207-832-8224 [email protected] 1 Final Report 23 November 2005 The Lobster Conservancy NEC Subcontract #05-952 Lobster Spawning and Hatching Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between temperature, movements and body size for ovigerous (egg-bearing) lobsters tagged recently after spawning and tracked throughout the 9-13 month brooding period. We made predictions about where and under what temperature conditions small (< size at 50% maturity) versus large (> size at 50% maturity) lobsters would brood. We found that although small female lobsters were abundant in Muscongus Bay, most were not ovigerous. Small ovigerous lobsters tended to spawn and remain inside the bay where they brooded at lower winter, but higher spring and summer temperatures than large ovigerous lobsters. In contrast, large ovigerous lobsters (>size at 50% maturity) were relatively rare, but most were ovigerous. They tended to spawn at greater distances from shore and while many stayed near where they spawned, others achieved a maximum displacement of up to 240 km. Large ovigerous lobsters were at more moderate temperatures throughout the year regardless of how far they traveled. Both small and large ovigerous lobsters experienced (1) sufficiently low winter temperatures for successful ovarian maturation, and (2) approximately the same number of degree days for egg development.

However, they did not include any biochemical measures of stress, and they did not evaluate the effect of stunning using the Crustastun™ device. The present report summarises the results of a systematic study of the stress imposed by Crustastunning in two commercially important edible crustaceans, namely the brown crab Cancer pagurus and the European lobster Homarus gammarus, as indicated by a biochemical measure of stress.
