Scientists Release Lobsters To Repopulate Former Habitat
HELGOLAND, GERMANY - AUGUST 03: A one year-old European lobster (Homarus gammarus), approximtely 8 cm long, lies in a cubicle at the Helgoland Biological Institute (Biologische Anstalt Helgoland), part of the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research, on August 3, 2013 at Helgoland Island, Germany. Scientists released a total of 415 one-year old lobsters into the North Sea later in the day as part of an effort to repopulate the lobster population around Helgoland (also called Heligoland). In the 19th century local fishermen caught up to 80,000 lobsters a year in the surrounding waters, combined with the heavy allied bombing of the island during and after World War II, as well as other environmental factors, decimated the lobster population.
