Lobster release at offshore wind farm Riffgat German Bight (North Sea)
The European lobster (Homarus gammarus) population around the island of Helgoland (German Bight, North Sea) has been stagnating on a very low level for many decades. A mark-recapture study of hatchery-reared juvenile lobsters at the rocky island of Helgoland has shown that released lobsters are stro...
