Marine officials in Maine are going to try to find a more efficient way to examine the size at which female lobsters reach maturity. The Maine Department of Marine Resources said the work will be funded by a grant of about $100,000 from the 2020 National Sea Grant American Lobster Initiative. Regulators use the information to predict the growth of female lobsters and estimate egg production.
