The share of every lobster you handle that goes straight back over the side — undersize, oversize and berried females — kept alive to grow and spawn. Only a small fraction of what enters the pot is ultimately retained.
Pot fishing lets undersize, oversize and egg-bearing lobster be returned alive; a high release share with good post-release survival underpins the fishery’s sustainability credentials.
IMAS Tas Fisheries ↗This is the daily practice behind the biomass and egg-production numbers. A high, well-handled release rate is what makes pot fishing sustainable and keeps the fishery’s market-access and certification claims defensible to buyers.
Silo pulls each of these from the sources the operation already uses, and keeps the figure current automatically.
Return undersize and berried animals fast to maximise survival.
Handle gently — minimise air time, drops and limb loss.
Set pots to reduce time on deck sorting marginal animals.
