As we all know, lobsters are difficult to grow old
But a new DNA-based technology developed by Dong'an University in collaboration with the Center for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS) and the National Lobster Hatchery may help manage lobster fisheries more sustainably
Dr.
"For a long time, there seems to be no precise way to quantify the age of lobsters
Dr.
"It is important to be able to estimate how many lobsters of a certain age are in a certain area so that they can be harvested sustainably
"We want to develop a new, non-lethal method to determine the age of European lobster, which can be better used for lobster fishery management
The research team used a method that relies on quantifying the changes in DNA that accumulate in lobsters with age
Dr.
"Applying this method to the predicted age of wild lobsters usually matches the minimum estimated age based on size
"As information on the age structure of European lobster populations is still unclear, our method is very promising as a tool to improve European lobster management
