Sustainable LOBSTER Fishing in Nova Scotia | Bart van Olphen

- Skipper Kerry Gracie lays around 250 traps. Every day, six days a week, he hauls them up one by one with his crew of three. A mechanical winch does the heavy work and Kerry logs where he drops the traps overboard on his computer. He has equipment to measure the depth and temperature of the water, the ideal temperature being 4.5°C/40°F, as that’s when the lobsters are most active and travel the greatest distances.
Once the lobsters start to moult by shedding their shells, the season is over, but until then Kerry catches as many as he can. There are a few rules to ensure the lobster population remains healthy. For example, there is a minimum size, and lobsters that are too small are thrown back, as are females with eggs under their tail. If a lobster is damaged and therefore cannot be sold, its tail is clipped and it must be thrown back and left until the clip is no longer visible. It takes about three years, but it will have been able to reproduce during that time. This way of fishing ensures that the lobster population will remain healthy and therefore the fishery is MSC certified.

It's great to see someone promote sustainable fishing. I don't get to see it mentioned as much here in South Carolina.
Always a pleasure watching your videos, Bart :)
Thunbs up for sustainable fishing practices!
5;20AM, phone goes off another Fishy Friday to start before I crash and sleep. :)
I've been lucky enough to have eaten many Nova Scotia lobsters and your right they are the best in the world. See ya next Fishy Friday
I've been a long-time viewer, but I must admit I knew almost nothing about sustainable fishing before. It's been a real eye opening thing for me, and I have tried to purchase fish that I know comes from a sustainable source. Another great video - thanks Bart!
That sounds great! Keep up the good work.
Yay Nova Scotia! Always nice to see the Maritimes on here!
Bart, you are Mr. Sustainable. I love your videos and recipes, groeten uit Ijsland.
Groetjes!
Keep making these awesome vids!
Great video, Bart!
Welcome to Canada! Next time come to the west coast for our crab! 💖👍🇨🇦
With the greater percentage of our planet being covered by water it seems hard to imagine that fish species could be at threat and yet they are, lucky then that we have bodies of people to protect our planet.
pretty cool to see
It's Friday!
Awesome! I come from a long line of Nova Scotian lobster fishers. My 72-year-old Dad still fishes as well as my brother. I tried it for a year but it wasn't for me.
Amazing..
How much do they earn per month as deckhand?
nice recipe eh
Just FYI you've got the arrow on your map pointing to the southern USA, not Nova Scotia.
