Lobster Hatchery

By mac
Once the lobsters are a certain size, they are releasing into the Firth of Forth.
This year saw the Hatchery celebrate its 14th year since conception, with over 14,000 juveniles and hundreds of V-Notched females returned to the sea.
V-notching is a great way for fishermen to look after our lobster stocks - If a fisherman finds a 'berried hen' (a female with eggs) he can cut a V shape into the tail and return her to the sea. When another fishermen finds her, he knows she's a breeding female due to this 'V' marking in the tail, and has to return her to the sea.
Colour or Mono?

Strong contrasty colours - the blue-yellow theme is totally declinated... really great!
This image is about colour and its variations within a scheme in real life!
Congratulations and greetings!

Interesting facts about the lobsters, Ian. The b&w has more impact on the eye, I feel.

Both work well but perhaps colour wins for me; an excellent report - the same approach happens at Padstow so that the larger ones are caught and sold to France!

Colour today Ian. Having to re-stock the seas because they've been overfished...?
