The carapace-length distribution of the lobster you keep, read against the legal minimum length. Anything under the limit — and berried or oversize animals — goes back to the water.
Legal minimum length rules ensure most lobster spawn at least once before they can be taken; retaining a size spread just above the limit is the sustainable norm.
Fishing Tasmania ↗Size at capture is where sustainability and selectivity meet the price grid. A distribution sitting just above the minimum shows the size rules are working and the grounds are recruiting; a shift downward warns that larger animals are being fished out faster than they recruit.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Measure every marginal animal against the legal minimum.
Return undersize lobster quickly and gently to survive and grow.
Track the size distribution for early signs of local depletion.
