Artificial Lobster Bait
A Discussion of Use
 

     There has been considerable discussion in the last year regarding the use of artificial lobster bait and its effects, if any, on lobster health and lobster markets worldwide.  A recent vote by DMR’s Lobster Advisory Council overwhelmingly requested these products be phased out of use in Maine’s waters.  The Department led a discussion of all the issues that people see, both pro and con, regarding the use of artificial lobster bait.
